Romain Rolland
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”.
Jean-Christophe (1904?1912) is the novel in ten volumes by for which Romain Rolland received the Prix Femina in 1905 the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1915.
