"In Bohemia with Du Maurier: The First of a Series of Reminiscences" by Felix Moscheles is a collection of memoirs written during the late 19th century. The book offers a glimpse into the artistic and social life of Antwerp and beyond during the 1850s, focusing on Moscheles' experiences and friendships, especially with the renowned caricaturist George du Maurier. Through a mix of reflections and anecdotes, it captures the bohemian spirit of the time and the dynamics of Moscheles' friendships with fellow artists and musicians. The opening of the book sets a nostalgic tone as Moscheles reflects on the losses and changes in his life, particularly following the passing of du Maurier, whom he affectionately remembers as a lively and lovable companion. Moscheles recounts their early days at the Antwerp Academy, highlighting their camaraderie and artistic pursuits. The narrative creates a vivid picture of their youthful exuberance and creativity, characterized by mutual support and artistic development. The accounts shared in this portion are filled with both humor and introspection, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of Moscheles and du Maurier's shared bohemian adventures as well as the cultural context of their time.
