Jean-Christophe 2

His homeland is no longer enough for Christophe...

“He feels that a force that he cannot name is emerging within himself. : That mysterious force that suddenly awakens in birds with an irresistible force at certain times, just like the tide of the sea, the instinct of the Great Migrations...

While reading the books of Herder and Fichte, he came across souls similar to his own, and the land on which he lived. These were not 'children of the soil' who were slaves, they were 'children of the sun' who turned their faces to the light without giving up.”

But where will Christophe go? How will he leave his mother alone? While he struggles in despair, an unexpected event will make a decision on his behalf and take him to new horizons.

Nobel Academy recognizes Romain Rolland to honor "the sublime idealism in his literary works and the empathy and love of truth he displays when describing various types of people." He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1915. In his greatest novel, Jean-Christophe, which is the first example of the "river novel" genre, the author narrates the life of a genius musician from birth to death, while at the same time brutally destroying the bourgeois social order where money dominates everything and fake celebrities run wild in the field of ideas and art with cheap and insipid products. YKY brings together this huge work of 10 books, which Romain Rolland started writing in 1904 and completed in 1912, in 3 volumes.
