full_question: One of this author's characters flees to Switzerland after he kills a soldier at a bloody May Day celebration thrown by some syndicalists during which his friend Olivier dies. That title character created by him flees to Paris after killing yet another soldier, who was trying to rape the peasant girl Lorchen. This man's study of eastern mysticism, which includes a three-volume life of Swami Vivekananda, inspired Sigmund Freud's discussion of the oceanic feeling in Civilization and its Discontents. Dmitri Kabalevsky created an operatic adaptation of this man's novel Colas Breugnon. Because it "flows like a river," he dubbed his longest work, which includes 1911's The Burning Bush and 1904's Dawn, a "roman-fleuve". That novel opens by describing a son of Melchior Krafft who becomes a court violinist for a German grand duke and then a famous composer in France. For 10 points, name this Nobel laureate, the author of the ten-volume Jean-Christophe.
