The 10-volume novel is the original roman fleuve, a work that chronicles a sprawling history that gives an overall, often-critical view of society during its time. In 1915 the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Romain Rolland ‘as a tribute to the lofty idealism of his literary production and to the sympathy and love of truth with which he has described different types of human beings. ’ Partly because of his outspoken defense of human rights, especially the rights of minorities, Rolland had a mass following among European Jews. In fact, the Yiddish translation of Jean-Christophe…. Was among the most popular Yiddish books ever-published and was the best-selling modern translation into Yiddish. ” (Yiddishkayt.org; Romain Rolland) Subjects: Yiddish literature - Translations from French.
