John Christopher (All Four Volumes)
About This Novel
"Johan Christophe" is Romain Rolland's landmark masterpiece in art and thought. It took more than twenty years from conception to complete publication. With this work, Romain Rolland won the 1915 Nobel Prize for Literature. The Swedish Academy's award citation praised the high ideals of his work, as well as his compassion and love of truth in depicting different types of characters. "John Christopher" is not a novel, it should be said: more than a novel, but a great epic of mankind. What it depicts and sings is not the hardships experienced by human beings in the material aspect but the spiritual aspect. It is not the victory of conquering the outside world but the conquering of the inner world. It is a mirror of millions of living beings, an adventure story of heroes and sages from ancient and modern times at home and abroad, and a grand symphony in the style of Beethoven. Warrior, when you know that you are not the only one suffering in the world, you will definitely feel less pain, and your hope will always be reborn in despair!
