Romain Rolland's "Celebrities" is composed of life biographies of three literary giants: Beethoven, Michelangelo, and Tolstoy.
Beethoven suffered from ear diseases throughout his life. How did he use music to sing joy and fight against fate?
Michelangelo was the last superstar of the Renaissance, but he gave up joy, glory, and even freedom throughout his life, just to realize the art in his heart.
Tolstoy is known as Russia's greatest soul. In addition to his well-known literary masterpieces, how did his thoughts influence the world?
Although the three people in the biography have their own fields in different artistic fields, they all devoted their lives to pursuing truth and justice and creating immortal masterpieces of truth, goodness and beauty in their rugged life journey.
