After first studying philosophy he received a degree in history in 1889. He became a history teacher, but he disliked teaching and resigned in 1912 to move to Lake Geneva to concentrate on writing.
His most famous novel is the 10-volume Jean-Christophe (1904–1912), the cradle to grave story of a German musical genius who makes his home in France.
