one volume,_ _Half Morocco, two volumes,_ HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY PUBLISHERS NEW YORK JEAN-CHRISTOPHE _By ROMAIN ROLLAND_ Translated from the French by GILBERT CANNAN. In three volumes, each $1.50 net. 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. Each volume of the American edition has its own individual interest, can be understood without the other, and comes to a definite conclusion. _The three volumes with the titles of the French volumes included are:_ 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._ HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY PUBLISHERS NEW YORK ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE LISTENERS AND OTHER POEMS*** ******* This file should be named 22569.txt or 22569.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/2/5/6/22569 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
