Bohemians of the Latin Quarter, The by Henri Murger (1832 - 1861) ciesse As much as any other work of literature, Henri Murger’s 1851 collection of witty sketches Scènes de la vie de bohème shaped the later romanticized image of the bohemian artist: independent, insouciant, exuberantly lustful, devoted to Art for Art’s sake no matter how cold and hungry the artist might be. Four young Parisian artists, Schaunard the composer, Marcel the painter, Rodolphe the poet, and Colline the philosopher, form an informal Bohemian alliance dedicated to Art and the joy of Life. Pretty and faithless young mistresses come and go from their beds, most notably Mimi, Phémie, and Musette, while the young artists do their best to foil their creditors and feed their bellies on the way to artistic glory. Resisting the conforming forces of Success and Society is their greatest challenge, and in the end the question is: Does a time come at last to give up the joys of Bohemia? ( Expatriate) Rembrandt's Money Bob Wessels Imagine, you had in just one live around 25 legal conflicts and battles of all kinds! With clients about the quality of your work or about sharp business prices. With your neighbor about the costs of reconstruction of your house. Or for the transfer of your house to a family member to escape you creditors. Yes, I know, it's not you.. Who is this? We’re talking Rembrandt, the world famous painter from the Dutch Golden Age. I am Bob Wessels and I am from the Netherlands. I am a veteran lawyer with fifty (50) years of legal working experience. In my podcasts I will tell you my opinion on these and many other matters. In 2021, I published my book “Rembrandt’s Money. The legal and financial life of an artist-entrepreneur in 17th century Holland.” It has received very positive reviews, in England, the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. Throughout the year 2024 I will deliver a podcast eve De Bello Gallico Libri Septem by Gaius Julius Caesar (100 - 44 BCE) LibriVox In this book the famous Gaius Julius Caesar himself describes the seven years of his war in Gaul.When Caesar got proconsul of Gallia and Illyria in 58 B.C, the conquest of land in Gaul was an urgent need, both to improve his political standing and to calm his creditors in Rome. So Caesar claims his interest for a very large area already in the first sentence.His steps and measures always appear clear and logical, but this simplicity is the result of a strict discipline in style. Caesar really chooses his words, and the list of standard words that he never or rarely uses, is astonishing. E.g. for "river" he only uses flumen and never fluvius or amnis. He avoids porro (furthermore), which would be no decided beginning of a sentence, and in his writings never occurs the word clades (the defeat), although this would normally be demanded by the context.It is remarkable, that still today in all the lands of his conquest the word for "peace" is derived from Art de payer ses dettes et de satisfaire ses créanciers sans débourser un sou, L' by Émile Marco de Saint-Hilaire (1796 - 1887) LibriVox Manuel du Droit Commercial, à l'usage des gens ruinés, des solliciteurs, des surnumérateurs, des employés réformés et de tous les consommateurs sans argent.Par feu mon oncle, Professeur Emérite.Précédé d'une notice biographique sur l'auteur. Le tout publié par son neveu.« Plus on doit, plus on a de crédit. » Pensée inédite du Professeur. (de l'éditeur)The title says it all: How to pay one's debts and satisfy one's creditors, not laying out a penny. "The more one owes, the more funds one owns." Original thought of the author's uncle.
