Écrivain engagé, pacifiste, poète et humaniste, figure majeure de la littérature française du XXe siècle, Romain Rolland (1866-1944) a laissé une oeuvre exigeante et ambitieuse, distinguée par le prix Nobel en 1915, et dont la pièce maîtresse demeure Jean-Christophe, roman auquel il consacra dix ans de sa vie.
Passionné de musique, il y retrace le destin et la formation d'un compositeur de génie, héros romantique et « âme libre» à l'image du Werther de Goethe.
De son enfance à la maturité, Jean-Christophe Krafft découvre la douleur, l'injustice, affronte les épreuves de la vie pour enfin s&rsquo accomplir, trouver l'équilibre et la paix.
Roman d'apprentissage, tableau du monde intellectuel européen de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle, cette vaste fresque qui mêle pensée et poésie, réalisme et symbolisme, est autant une réflexion sur la création artistique que l'exploration sensible et profonde de l'âme humaine. Un chef-d'oeuvre et un classique."
"There are several volumes to this book (well, 3 in English and like a dozen in French), a vast belle-epoque account of the creative life that serves as an opportunity for Rolland, a critic and aesthete, to rumble on about culture in general. But it's a fascinating look, a really thorough one, at the world of Parisian culture at a time when it was the center of the world."
"its not just a novel and you can find out a lot of things about history. morever i really enjoyed to read about john's friendships with another boy.it was really nice."
"Well, Jean Christophe was a good friend of mine for about three months. I didn't want to finish the book since I was afraid I might lose such a great friend, which I finally did. Yet, he has always kept his place somewhere in my soul. Jean Christophe, I will never forget you."
