Reader comments
The author of this book is Romain Rolland. The characteristics of his novels are summarized as "writing novels with music" and he is also the founder of biographical literature. As a social activist, he insisted on freedom, truth and justice throughout his life, and worked tirelessly for human rights and the anti-fascist struggle. He was called the "Conscience of Europe." This book describes the story of a musical genius's struggle with himself, art and society, his contempt and resistance to the powerful in his youth, his pursuit and success in his career as an adult, and finally his achievement of a lofty state of spiritual tranquility.
This book made me empathize, especially the description of the chaos and contradictions in the growth of young people. Just like when I was looking for a job after graduation, I also felt lost and confused. But the protagonist Christophe's persistence in the face of difficulties and his dedication to music gave me great encouragement. He said: "The real light is never a time without darkness, but it is never obscured by darkness." This sentence makes me believe that as long as we persist in our beliefs, we will definitely be able to find our own light. This book is not only a literary classic, but also an empowering work.
