Jean Christophe: in Paris: The Market-Place, Antoinette, The House
A long novel sequence following the life of the musician Jean-Christophe. Passion for art, friendship, and political awareness all overlap, giving the work a range that goes beyond a simple coming-of-age story.
Work Information
Through one musician’s life, the novel explores the relation between art and its age.
Known as Rolland’s major work, it uses a long breath to trace how individual talent collides with social pressure. Its strength lies in facing the friction between idealism and reality head-on.
