Jean Christophe appears in France in ten volumes; the English translation is in three volumes. This is the first one. Each has its own interest and can be understood without reading the others. It is considered a great trilogy, the life story of a musician, with satirical criticism of the world around him. The English edition was published in December, 1910.
