  JEAN-CHRISTOPHE by Romain Rolland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Rolland was born in 1866 at Clamecy, in the center of France, of a French family of pure descent, and educated in Paris and Rome.
Rolland shows the life of his hero from the very first stirrings in the cradle to the shadow at the road's end, or, as he himself significantly spaces it, from dawn to dawn again, from birth to rebirth.
Rolland is engrossed with the joy of creation and the exercise of his excellent power of observation and analysis, but he forgets that there is an active audience, and that Jean-Christophe as a safety valve for his own energy is small justification for his ten volumes.
