The Biography of Beethoven
● Author: [French] Romain Rowland
● Translator: Fu Lei
● Publisher: Unity Press
He choked fate's throat
Beethoven's biography is one of Romain Rowland's "celebrity trilogy" and is a true sketch of the life of the music master Beethoven: Beethoven himself was ugly, his childhood and adolescence were difficult, and he was often beaten and scolded by his father. His bitter and short life has left the world with an astonishing number of great musical works, a wounded and almost suffocating heart, and a symphony of excitement, warming and illuminating the world behind him.
Jiang Dengke (Vice Chairman of Chongqing Writers Association, Professor of Southwest University, Doctoral Supervisor):
Romain Rowland's "Three Legends of giants" had a huge impact, and "Beethoven' Biography" is one of them. Beethoven lived in an era of alternating old and new. The destruction of the old and the birth of the new are themselves a painful process, coupled with their own physical and emotional pain, it can be said that Beethoven grew up in the intertwined pain of the inside and outside. However, the pain did not make Beethoven fall and sink, but he used it as the material and motivation for artistic creation, constantly surpassing himself and the past, and achieving a great legend in the history of music with "joy made of pain".
"The Biography of Beethoven" did not avoid the historical and cultural background at that time, nor did it avoid Beethoven's own inner torment, restored the living Beethoven, and wrote his endeavor in poetic language. The author may be trying to tell us that no success is casual, and that no happiness has not experienced the storm.
