The three volumes with the titles of the French volumes included are: JEAN-CHRISTOPHE JEAN-CHRISTOPHE IN PARIS THE MARKET PLACE-ANTOINETTE-THE HOUSE JEAN-CHRISTOPHE: JOURNEY'S END LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP-THE BURNING BUSH-THE NEW DAWN 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.

"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.
