Some Noteworthy Comments
“‘Hats off, gentlemen—a genius.’... One may mention ‘Jean-Christophe’ in the same breath with Balzac’s ‘Lost Illusions’; it is as big as that.... It is moderate praise to call it with Edmund Gosse ’the noblest work of fiction of the twentieth century.’... A book as big, as elemental, as original as though the art of fiction began today.... We have nothing comparable in English literature....”—Springfield Republican.
“If a man wishes to understand those devious currents which make up the great, changing sea of modern life, there is hardly a single book more illustrative, more informing and more inspiring.”—Current Opinion.
“Must rank as one of the very few important works of fiction of the last decade. A vital compelling work. We who love it feel that it will live.”—Independent.
“The most momentous novel that has come to us from France, or from any other European country, in a decade.”—Boston Transcript.
