Excerpt from The Real FranceUs up to Montmartre and rejoices at the honest and polished immorality of it all. The Teutonic or anglo-saxon mind and manners could not do this they would be un easily concerned with paying Virtue its public tribute, or in private would be too easily unconcerned with veneering their vices amiably. But this indeed is the real thing, this is the tradition handed on through centuries of pleasant living, which knew no puritanism, from the most civilized court of Europe down through the days that laughed and were pleasurable while the tumbrils passed to the guillotine. He takes us across the water to the Boul. Miche. And rejoices over careless and intelligent Bohemianism. Murger's Grisettes may be dead, and a new Vie de Boheme have arisen, but the same light wine is pressed out of life, it is the same high vitality, the same bright living, blended with the same artistic dash of pleasantly keen thinking.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
