Ludwig van Beethoven est un compositeur, pianiste et chef d'orchestre allemand, né à Bonn en 1770 et mort à Vienne en 1827 à 56 ans.Romain Rolland (1866-1944), est un écrivain français, lauréat du Prix Nobel de littérature en 1915. Dans cette biographie critique du célèbre compositeur de musique, Romain Rolland s'éloigne des codes de la biographie et de l'hagiographie pour des chemins de traverse plus inattendus. Le destin torturé de ce que Rolland appelle ses héros ("Je n'appelle pas héros ceux qui ont triomphé par la pensée ou par la force. J'appelle héros, seuls ceux qui furent grands par le coeur") est le centre d'intérêt de ces ouvrages ("La vie de ceux dont nous essayons de faire ici l'histoire, presque toujours fut un long martyre"). C'est de manière métaphorique que Romain Rolland s'immisce dans la vie et la correspondance de celui qui fut considéré comme un génie de la musique au XIXe siècle. Un livre magistral qui se lit comme un roman. Agrémenté d'une riche correspondance de Beethoven et d'une bibliographie établie et commentée par Romain Rolland.

Excerpt from Musiciens d'Autrefois: L'Opéra Avant l'Opéra l'"orfeo" De Luigi Rossi, Lully, Gluck, Grétry, MozartAinsi la connaissance des arts élargit et anime l'idée que l'on se fait d'un peuple, d'après sa seule littérature.Combien cette idée sera encore enrichie, si, pour la compléter, nous recourons à la musique!La musique déroute ceux qui ne la sentent point; sa matière semble insaisissable: elle échappe au raisonne ment, elle paraît sans contact avec la réalité. Quels secours l'histoire pourrait-elle donc tirer de ce qui paraît hors de l'espace, hors de l'histoire?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Romain Rolland (29 January 1866 - 30 December 1944) was a French dramatist, novelist, essayist, art historian and mystic who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1915 "as a tribute to the lofty idealism of his literary production and to the sympathy and love of truth with which he has described different types of human beings". He was a leading supporter of Josef Stalin in France and is also noted for his correspondence with and influence on Sigmund Freud. Rolland's most significant contribution to the theatre lies in his advocacy for a "popular theatre" in his essay The People's Theatre (Le Théâtre du peuple, 1902).

Colas Breugnon, cinquante ans, est un simple artisan bourguignon du XVIIe siècle, robuste et bon vivant. Un jour il a décidé de s'asseoir à une table, et, avec du vin à sa droite, un encrier à sa gauche, d'écrire sur ce cahier qui lui ouvre les bras. Mais quoi? Ses rêves? certainement pas! C'est sa vie, ses vicissitudes, qu'il nous écrit; mais empreint d'une bonne humeur impérissable, et de cet optimisme persistant — «une liberté intérieure qui l'aide à surmonter l’infortune et la mort.»Après des années de lutte pour la non-violence, Romain Rolland fait surgir, en un livre dénué de politique, son pays natal dans une langue simple, et pourtant évocatrice de son passé retrouvé.Romain Rolland (1866-1944) est un écrivain français, et une figure de la non-violence, à l’image de Tolstoï et Gandhi qu’il admire. Il commence une carrière de professeur. Mais lors de la Première Guerre mondiale, il est bouleversé. L'Europe court à sa perte. Il est et demeure en Suisse, pour témoigner de sa neutralité. Il y publie un appel pacifiste, «Au-dessus de la mêlée». Il reçoit le Prix Nobel de littérature de 1915 par l’Académie suédoise. Depuis 1906 il entretient des relations épistolaires avec Alphonse de Châteaubriant, ainsi qu’avec Louis Aragon et Stefan Zweig. Il correspond aussi avec Sigmund Freud, sur le sentiment océanique. Malgré une période où il soutient l’URSS face à un Hitler qui s’impose, il se détourne de la politique, et en 1939 préside le Comité mondial contre la guerre et le fascisme. La correspondance avec Stefan Zweig est d’une importance capitale pour sa philosophie et la littérature. Zweig qualifiera Rolland de «Conscience de l'Europe».

Il y a un peu plus de cent ans, Romain Rolland écrivait dans le «Journal de Genève», et dénonçait, sans concession, l'absurdité de la Guerre. Ce n'est que le début de la Première Guerre mondiale, et déjà son texte rejette l'idée de victoire, l'appétit de domination, et de «revanche». Il faut prendre de la hauteur, nous disait-il, jusqu'aux cimes. De là haut, seulement, l'on peut faire taire les hurlements d’une humanité irresponsable. C'est cette même lucidité qui infuse tous ses mots; c'est un désir de communion; c'est un idéal humaniste qui lui valut le prix Nobel de littérature — la non-violence.

Jean-Christophe c'est un hero romantique, un genie de la musique allemand. On le voit grandir sous nos yeux, et doucement plonger dans un monde parfois injuste et douloureux. Une serie d'epreuves, semblables aux cercles de l'Enfer l'oblige a maitriser ses passions, a trouver l'harmonie dans un monde ou tout pousse a se battre, a etre battu. Mais c'est autant une pensee sur l'art, qu'une exploration de l'ame humaine, cela en dix tomes profonds et sensibles.Jean-Christophe c'est aussi un tableau de l'Europe du debut du XXe siecle, l'espoir de voir l'humanite reconciliee avant qu'il ne soit trop tard - l'A uvre de dix ans qui vaudra a Romain Rolland le Prix Femina et le Prix Nobel de litterature.-

Pierre le sait: Dans six mois la patrie aura besoin de sa chair. La guerre la reclame. Mais Paris est deja sous les bombes. Pierre ferme les yeux et plonge dans les tenebres du metro pour fuir les detonations sourdes. Quand il rouvre les yeux, il la voit, en bas-Luce. Le silence. La paix. Elle est la. Et bientot il la perd du regard. Et bientot il la revoit, enfin. Mais c'est toujours la guerre - cette guerre qui ne mene a rien - qui de nouveau les separe...-
