London has always been home to outsiders. To people who won`t, or can`t, abide by the conventions of respectable society. For close to two centuries these misfit individualists have had a name. They have been called Bohemians. This book is an entertaining, anecdotal history of Bohemian London. A guide to its more colourful inhabitants. Rossetti & Swinburne, defying the morality of high Victorian Engl&. Oscar Wilde & Aubrey Beardsley in the decadent 1890s. The Bloomsburyites & the Bright Young Things. Dylan Thomas, boozing in the Blitz, & Francis Bacon & his cronies, wasting time & getting wasted in 1950s Soho. It`s also a guide to the places where Bohemia has flourished. The legendary Cafe Royal, a home from home to artists & writers for nearly a century. The Cave of the Golden Calf, a First World War nightclub run by the Swedish playwright August Strindberg`s widow. The Colony Room, the infamous drinking den presided over by the gloriously foul-mouthed Muriel Belcher, & the Gargoyle Club in Dean Street where the artistic avant-garde mixed with upper-crust eccentrics. The pubs of Fitzrovia where the painters Augustus John & Nina Hamnett rubbed shoulders with the occultist Aleister Crowley & the short-story writer Julian Maclaren-Ross, wearing mirror sunglasses & clutching a silver-topped Malacca cane, held court for his acolytes & admirers. The story of Bohemian London is one of drink & drugs, sex & death, excess & indulgence. It`s also a story of achievement & success. Some of the finest art & literature of the last two centuries has emerged from Bohemia. Nick Rennison`s book provides a lively & enjoyable portrait of the world in which Bohemian Londoners once lived. ...

- almost unknowable
- organisation. Through exhaustive on-the-ground reporting, Mike Smith takes readers inside the conflict & provides the first in-depth account of the violence & unrest.

- & perhaps affect the future of Africa.
