Romain Rolland
Romain Rolland's life coincided closely with the span of the French Third Republic, an age of which he was an acute and critical observer. A mind combining an unusual breadth of sympathies with uncompromisingly lofty values and a novelist's eye for detail, his interests cover a wide range of areas - history, musicology, biography, politics, religion, the East - and his correspondence with both the famous and the obscure, is exceptionally rich. He is remembered for his plays on the French Revolution, his work on Beethoven, his novels, his biographies, his opposition to the First World War, his desperate attempts between the wars to reconcile Gandhism and Leninism and, during the Occupation, his nostalgia for the Catholic faith of his forbears. Drawing on the wealth of the unpublished Archives Romain Rolland, this book offers a fresh perspective on the events of an often turbulent life and traces the changing patterns of his thought, which disconcerted his friends by its constant evolution.Rolland's work is unified by a fierce desire for independence, an insistence that the psychological force of faith is more important than its content, by an obsession with historical process and by a constant musicianly quest for harmony, or the reconciliation of discords within a synthetic whole. The author attempts to do justice to every side of Romain Rolland's output, showing how each of his works in their diverse genres contributes to the overall thrust of his developing thought. Though covering his political thought, the author avoids over-stressing it, as much previous criticism has done, and gives due weight to the work of his last years, which so far has been very imperfectly studied.

Romain Rolland. Der Mann und das Werk
Romain Rolland. Der Mann und das Werk ist ein biographischer Roman von Stefan Zweig, erstmals erschienen im Jahre 1921. Romain Rolland (1866-1944) war ein franz�sischer Schriftsteller, Musikkritiker und Pazifist. Er wurde 1915 als dritter Franzose mit dem Nobelpreis f�r Literatur ausgezeichnet. Aus dem Buch: "Auch das Leben Romain Rollands versagt sich solcher Frage nicht. Es ist im doppelten Sinn heroisch, denn erst sp�t, von der H�he der Vollendung gesehen, offenbart sich das Sinnvolle seines Baues. Langsam ist hier ein Werk gebildet, weil gegen gro�e Gefahr, sp�t enth�llt, weil sp�t vollendet. Tief eingesenkt in den festen Grund des Wissens, dunkle Quadern einsamer Jahre als Fundament, tr�gt reiner Gu� alles Menschlichen, im siebenfachen Feuer der Pr�fung geh�rtet, die erhobene Gestalt. Aber dank solchen Wurzelns in der Tiefe, der Wucht seiner moralischen Schwerkraft, kann gerade dies Werk dann unersch�ttert bleiben im Weltensturme Europas, und indes die andern Standbilder, zu denen wir aufblickten, st�rzen und sich neigen mit der wankenden Erde, steht es frei, au dessus de la m�l�e, �ber dem Get�mmel der Meinungen, ein Wahrzeichen f�r alle freien Seelen, ein tr�stender Aufblick im Tumult der Zeit."
