_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 today.
* 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._
