Henri-Pierre Roché - Jules and Jim - 1963

This copy of Jules and Jim contains the complete novel by Henri-Pierre Roché in its English translation. The book explores the intense and unconventional friendship between Jules and Jim and their shared love for the same woman, developing into a psychologically subtle and emotionally complex love triangle. Set against the cultural and social backdrop of Europe before, during, and after the First World War, the novel is known for its restrained, lucid style and its sharp insight into themes of love, freedom, loyalty, and human relationships. The text is complete as issued by the publisher, including the title page and table of contents.

In terms of rarity, this is an early English-language edition published in Great Britain in the 1960s by John Calder, a publisher closely associated with important works of modern and avant-garde literature. Compared to later reprints, this edition is relatively scarce on the market and is particularly sought after by collectors of twentieth-century European literature and readers interested in Roché’s influential work.
