Jean-Christophe Journey's End, by Romain Rolland (1866 - 1944), translated by Gilbert Cannan (1884 - 1955)

Volunteers outside the USA: Gilbert Cannan died in 1955. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 50 years; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
This is the last of the Jean-Christophe trilogy. Just when Christophe's work starts to receive the recognition it deserves, he is again presented with many challenges in his career and love life. Circumstances drive him from Paris, his second home, to Switzerland, where he survives an existential crisis. Ten years down the line, much of his "problematic" past has been forgotten in Germany and France. Despite the pressures of his new-found fame, he remains true to his philosophy and ever-evolving style till the day he passes away. (Summary by Cao Yuqing)

The MW ends up having 24 more sections than planned, as I decided to respect the "natural boundaries" in the text more.
Thank you, Tricia, for your patience and assistance :thumbs:
Hope we're ready for readers now!
