John Christopher to Paris. By Romain Rolland. Heinemann. 474 pp. ‘ After 50 years the firm of 1 Heinemann are reprinting ! Gilbert Cannan's translation ’ of Rolland’s omnibus novel [ “Jean Christophe.” In the • first years of this century the ’ work was read by young in- ' tellectuals everywhere ’as ; exemplifying a. new spirit of artistic liberation ih Europe. Volume three is mainly con- ; cerned with John Chris- , topher's friendship with the i unstable Olivier Jeannin and his sister Antoinette. It coni tains jvhat some considered the highlight of the whole I series, the tragic chronicle of i Antoinette’s brief life of . devotion to Olivier. John , Christopher himself is rei vealed in the full Ude of his . turbulent career. It is a . pleasure to record that Gil- , bert Cannan’s translation . seems as fresh and exhilarati ing as ever even after a lapse of more than 30 years.
