Romain Rolland was born in 1866 and died in 1944, his life passed through the entire historical period of the French Third Republic, during which the French economy developed, but after the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune uprising, the Napoleons and the remnants of feudalism were still very marketable, plus the two world wars and the Dreyfus incident, the society was in turmoil, the mind was confused, the people's hearts were fluctuating, the world was declining, individualism was rampant, and the wind of pleasure prevailed. Christopher's profile
Literature is characterized by a languishing, pretentious, and lifeless so-called post-symbolism. As a humanitarian writer and thinker, Romain Rolland faced the harsh social reality, paid attention to social issues, and participated in political life, and his ideological tendencies and value orientations are expressed in his literary works.
Romain Rolland believed that true art should be moral, militant, and that it could touch the conscience of generations of people around the world, helping them to stand taller and see further. In his book To the Friends of Johann Christopher, Romain Rolland wrote: "I should introduce the background in which I planned the book as a whole. I'm alone.
Like so many in France, I am repressed in a society that is opposed to my morals, and I want to breathe freely, to fight against an unsound civilization and against the ideas corrupted by some shoddy elites... I patiently shaped this hero. He declared, "My Johann Christopher was not written for the literati" and that "I wish he had direct contact with the lonely souls and sincere hearts of those who live outside of literature."
