Overall, Jean Christophe In Paris is a richly detailed and emotionally powerful novel that offers a vivid portrait of life in early 20th-century Paris.Defeat new-forges the chosen among men: it sorts out the people: it winnows out those who are purest and strongest, and makes them purer and stronger. But it hastens the downfall of the rest, or cuts short their flight. In that way it separates the mass of the people, who slumber or fall by the way, from the chosen few who go marching on. The chosen few know it and suffer: even in the most valiant there is a secret melancholy, a feeling of their own impotence and isolation. Worst of all, --cut off from the great mass of their people, they are also cut off from each other. Each must fight for his own hand.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
