Jean-Christophe

Japanese: ジャン・クリストフ(英語表記)Jean‐Christophe
Jean-Christophe
A full-length novel by French author R. Rolland. Ten volumes in total. Published between 1904 and 1912. The story revolves around the life of Jean-Christophe Kraft, a genius composer modeled on Beethoven and Rolland himself. Born in the Rhineland in Germany, Christophe struggles with poverty while becoming independent as a musician (Dawn, Morning, Youth). He rebels against the conventions of a provincial German city and leaves for France (Rebellion). However, he is also disappointed by the corruption and decadence in Paris' literary, musical, and political circles (Fair at the Square).
