| Summary | "Romain Rolland: The Man and His Work" by Stefan Zweig is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and contributions of the French author Romain Rolland, highlighting his moral compass, artistic ideals, and the profound impact he had on European thought during a turbulent historical period. It aims to portray Rolland not just as a gifted writer but as a significant moral figure whose works reflected deep humanity and cultural understanding. The beginning of the work introduces readers to the context of Romain Rolland's life and artistic journey. It reflects on his solitary beginnings, marked by introspective labor and a gradual emergence into the European discourse following years of obscurity. The narrative highlights key moments from his childhood in a quiet provincial town to his formative years in Paris, emphasizing the vibrant influences of music and literature that shaped his identity. With a focus on Rolland's inner struggles and eventual resolution to champion ideals of peace and unity across Europe, Zweig establishes a foundation from which the rest of Rolland's multifaceted life and work will unfold.
