Oh my! Are we really done?! Thank you a thousand times over. It's been an honor to do this knowing that I had such a discerning and appreciative audience.
BTW, I did a bit of research on the continuation of JC's story by comparing the original French with another bit of English translation entitled "Jean Christophe: In Paris," also translated by Gilbert Cannan (https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/8149/pg8149.html). What's a shame, however, is that he appears to have skipped over a delightful little interlude appearing in the French, entitled "DIALOGUE DE L'AUTEUR AVEC SON OMBRE" and is a brief conversation between Rolland and his creation, Jean Christophe.This appears a little over half way through https://www.gutenberg.org/files/61876/61876-h/61876-h.htm, and is immediately followed by the French equivalent of "Jean Christophe: In Paris." However, in order to get the entire story in French, one must go on to Jean Christophe Vol. III at https://www.gutenberg.org/files/61970/61970-h/61970-h.htm. And there is, apparently, a Vol IV, as well. I haven't compared Cannan's later translation to these to know how much of them he included, but that's a nice bit of sleuthing for someone else to pursue, no?

Thanks, MaryAnn, for MCing this project. I just saw the cover art. I think it's great. Can you tell me where it came from or who designed it?MaryAnnSpiegel wrote: ↑May 16th, 2021, 5:35 pm This project is now complete.

Joshua,
Do "Download CD case insert" -- on the 2nd page you would see, among other good stuff, "Cover picture based on 1915 cover"
It's a pity that probably nobody burns CDs anymore, LV covers are often quite exquisite!
