This great trilogy, the life story of a musician, at first the sensation
of musical circles in Paris, has come to be one of the most discussed
books among literary circles in France, England and America.

be understood without the other, and comes to a definite conclusion.

JEAN-CHRISTOPHE
Dawn--Morning--Youth--Revolt
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE IN PARIS
The Market Place--Antoinette--The House
JEAN-CHRISTOPHE: JOURNEY'S END
Love and Friendship--The Burning Bush--The New Dawn
_Some Noteworthy Comments_
"'Hats off, gentlemen--a genius.' . One may mention
'Jean-Christophe' in the same breath with Balzac's 'Lost
Illusions'; it is as big as that. . It is moderate praise to call
it with Edmund Gosse 'the noblest work of fiction of the twentieth
century'. . A book as big, as elemental, as original as though the
art of fiction began to-day. . We have nothing comparable in
English literature. . "--_Springfield Republican._
"If a man wishes to understand those devious currents which make up
the great, changing sea of modern life, there is hardly a single
book more illustrative, more informing and more
inspiring."--_Current Opinion._
"Must rank as one of the very few important works of fiction of the
last decade. A vital compelling work. We who love it feel that it
will live."--_Independent._
"The most momentous novel that has come to us from France, or from
any other European country, in a decade."--_Boston Transcript._
_A 32-page booklet about Romain Rolland and Jean-Christophe, with
portraits and complete reviews, on request._
