John Christopher (Complete Works)
About This Novel
"John Christophe" is divided into two volumes: The first volume of "John Christophe" describes John Christophe's boyhood and youth: as a boy, Christophe has been living in the small world of his family and hometown-until he passed a test. The young man got enlightenment from the test, constantly brandishing Don Quixote's spear, and went on a rampage to conquer the lies of society and art at that time, attacking mule drivers, clerks, wind wheels of mills, and festivals in Germany and France. He bravely walked out of the small world of his hometown and pursued his dreams on a larger stage. The passion and hatred in the second volume contrast with the first volume. It is a gentle and quiet atmosphere, singing the elegies of friendship and pure love. After the calm, there will be a big crisis in life. This storm will destroy almost everything, but the result will still be a clear and lofty state, revealing the dawn of another world.
