Presenting "Jean-Christophe by Romain Rolland (The Complete 10-Volume Novel), Translated by Gilbert Cannan, with an Introduction by Nicholas Tamblyn, and Illustrations by Katherine Eglund." This complete 10-volume novel is part of The Essential Series by Golding Books. The ten volumes of Romain Rolland's Jean-Christophe were published between 1904 and 1912, first in the Paris journal Les Cahiers de la Quinzaine. Depicting the life, from beginning to end, of a great artist, few books set out to achieve so much, and then succeed; it places Jean-Christophe in a rare company. Romain Rolland received the Prix Femina for the first four volumes in 1905, and then for both the completed novel and his pamphlet Au-dessus de la mêlée (“Above the Battle,” 1915)—a call for France and Germany to respect humanity and truth during the fighting of World War I—he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1915.
