Title Jean-Christophe Pariisissa II
VI. Antoinette
Credits Produced by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Jean-Christophe Pariisissa II" by Romain Rolland is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work explores the intricate family dynamics and societal expectations of the Jeannin family, particularly focusing on their children, Antoinette and Olivier. The narrative delves into themes of love, ambition, and the pressing impact of societal norms on personal happiness. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the small town in Central France where the Jeannin family has deep-rooted connections, tracing their lineage back to the 1500s. The opening establishes a vivid depiction of their environment and the complexity of the family’s relationships. The father, Antoine Jeannin, is characterized as a jovial but flawed businessman, coupled with his contrastingly pious wife, Lucie. Their children, Antoinette, a spirited and beautiful girl, and Olivier, a sensitive and melancholic boy, navigate their own divergent paths filled with dreams and fears against the backdrop of their parents' differing temperaments and societal pressures. The text captures the essence of their childhood filled with playfulness, innocence, and the heavy undercurrents of adult concerns lurking just below the surface.
