Hardcover: 288 pages Publisher: Bulfinch (November 02 2004) Costumer Rating: Read an Excerpt Chapter 1: Defining Bohemia; a Diagnosis Book Description Bohemianism is a way of life, a state of mind, an atmosphere. It is not a trend, it's a timeless movement. It is about living beyond convention. Bohemian Manifesto explores and joyfully celebrates the creativity, the originality, and the splendor of a lifestyle and spirit shared by free-thinking, free-living artists, poets, writers, sculptors, musicians, and intellectuals. This is the first book to distill and categorize all the ingredients of Bohemian life. In a witty and engaging style, Laren Stover examines the contents of a Bohemian's closet, bathroom, and bookshelf. She explains the allure of absinthe, why it isn't wise to leave a Bohemian unattended in your home-you could return to find nude nymphs painted on your lamp shades-and how to identify what type of Bohemian you might be.
