Romain Rolland was a French writer and dramatist, best known as the author of the novel series Jean-Christophe (1904-12).
His first book was published in 1902, when he was already 36 years old. Thirteen years later, he won 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."
