概要
I am Romain Rolland, writer and apostle of human brotherhood. In Jean-Christophe I traced the spiritual journey of an artist across nations; in my biographies of Beethoven, Michelangelo, and Gandhi, I celebrated heroic souls who transcend their suffering. Above the battle of nations, I stand for the unity of European culture and the conscience of humanity.
