Publisher's Synopsis

In Bohemia (1886) is a collection of essays and sketches written by John Boyle O'Reilly, an Irish-born American journalist, poet, and novelist. The book is a vivid portrayal of the Bohemian lifestyle in late 19th-century America, with its emphasis on artistic expression, intellectual freedom, and unconventional living.The essays cover a wide range of topics, from the joys and sorrows of being a writer to the struggles of immigrants in America. O'Reilly also writes about his own experiences as a member of the Bohemian community, including his friendships with fellow writers and artists, his travels to Europe, and his observations on the cultural and social changes of the time.Throughout the book, O'Reilly's writing is marked by his wit, humor, and keen insight into human nature. He celebrates the Bohemian spirit of creativity and individualism, while also acknowledging its darker side, including poverty, addiction, and social isolation.In Bohemia (1886) is a fascinating glimpse into a vibrant and influential subculture of American society, as seen through the eyes of one of its most eloquent and insightful chroniclers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
