A novel and a memoir of a triangular relationship during the early
days of the Dada movement in New York along with its creative
progeny, two magazines: The Blindman and Rongwrong. Henri-Pierre
Roche is best known for his novel Jules et Jim, based on the
three-sided relationship between himself, the artist Marcel Duchamp
and the actress Beatrice Wood.
Based on a real-life love triangle and later made into Francois
Truffaut's famous New Wave film, Henri-Pierre Roche's Jules et Jim
is a paean to youth set in free-spirited Paris before the First
World War. Jules and Jim live a carefree, bohemian existence: they
write in cafes, travel when the mood takes them, and share the
women they love without jealousy. Like Lucie, flawless, an abbess,
and Odile, impulsive, mischievous, almost feral. But it is Kate -
with a smile the two friends have determined to follow always, but
capricious enough to jump in the Seine from spite - who steals
their hearts most thoroughly. Henri-Pierre Roche was in his
mid-seventies when he wrote this, his autobiographical debut novel.
The inspiration for the legendary film directed by Francois
Truffaut, it captures perfectly with excitement and great humour
the tenderness of three people in love with each other and with
life. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is translated by Patrick
Evans with an introduction by Agnes C. Poirier and an afterword by
Francois Truffaut. Henri-Pierre Roche (1879-1959) was born in
Paris. After studying art at the Academie Julian, he became a
journalist and art dealer, mixing with the avant-garde artistic
set; his friends and acquaintances included the artists Michel
Duchamp and Francis Picabia, and in 1905 he introduced Gertrude
Stein to Pablo Picasso. In 1916, following his discharge from the
French army, Roche went to New York and set up a Dadaist magazine,
The Blind Man, with Duchamp and the artist Beatrice Wood. It wasn't
until his seventies that he wrote the semi-autobiographical Jules
et Jim (1953); his second novel, Les deux anglaises et le
continent, was published in 1956. If you enjoyed Jules et Jim, you
might like Raymond Radiguet's The Devil in the Flesh, also
available in Penguin Modern Classics. 'A perfect hymn to love and
perhaps to life' Francois Truffaut, director of Jules et Jim and
