I spent a long time reading Roman Rowland's masterpiece, John Christophe, and for a time I was immersed in the novel and could not extricate myself. I think it's a great work, a book that you must read in your lifetime. In ten volumes, Roman Rowland spent ten years conceiving, outlining, accumulating, and writing the full manuscript over a decade. Sometimes it took him two or three years to complete a volume, sometimes one or two volumes a year. In short, the creative process of this work is very tortuous and long. In this work, Christophe's character is extremely rich, and I think Christophe may have a Roman Rolland temperament in him.
There is a musical feel in Romain Rowland's writings, because he himself is a brilliant musician, and since his youth, he has a remarkable poetic temperament, and he wants to devote himself to music all his life and be an artist. But this dream was strongly opposed by his parents, who felt that art could not make him worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and they wanted their son to pursue a career as a teacher. Romain Rolland could only obey his parents, study hard, and qualify as a teacher. But he did not give up his dream of being an artist, he hated academia, he hated examinations, and he secretly resolved to devote himself to literary creation all his life. At that time, his heart was the same as Christophe's heart. On one side is secular life, on the other side is the world of art and the world of ideals. Roman Roland created the character of Christophe, perhaps to express his heart.
In addition to fiction writing, Romain Rowland also made outstanding contributions to dramatic literature, Roman Roland wrote 21 plays in his lifetime, published 15 of them, and his theatrical creations included theatrical series influenced by Shakespeare, the tragic creations, the celebrity biography series, and the revolutionary drama series based on the French Revolution. When he was a teenager, he firmly believed that he had come to the world with an artistic mission, and he would devote his life to this mission. In his plays, there is justice, faith, freedom, ideals, justice, he once said, "Harmony is the queen of all dreams, and it is also my lifelong dream." Therefore, harmony is the soul of his drama and his reflection on the future and destiny of the country.
Reading the works of Roman Rolland, you will feel a very strong artistry, his words are like a musical poem, full of rhythm and rhythm, because he often integrates musical elements into the creation of works, and his prose will give you a feeling of walking and walking in music, shrouded in strong musical emotions. Notes, melodies, strings, these words often appear in his prose or novels, he perfectly integrates musical elements in the work, giving readers a very peculiar and rich reading experience. In addition, the musical elements also cross the body of the characters in his works, music is a carrier, a symbol, music expresses the protagonist's love and state of mind, if you want to feel the beauty of this music, you must read the works of Roman Rolland.
Gorky referred to Romain Rolland as "the Tolstoy of France", and Roman Roland described Tolstoy as "a revelation of life", both masters who were masters of describing mental activity. I was most touched when I read "John Christophe", and the psychological descriptions in the text are often several large paragraphs and even a few pages, which is very wonderful! In the process of reading, it also follows the emotional fluctuations of the characters and rises and falls, the details are grasped in place, the psychological description is vivid, the plot is laid out in a timely manner, the rhythm is handled skillfully, and sometimes, I even read aloud the inner words of those characters, which is really wonderful.
In 1915, Romain Rolland was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the Swedish Academy of Letters praised him as "a high degree of idealism in literary creation and the compassion and authenticity shown in the depiction of various models".
