Romain Rolland 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".
He was a leading supporter of Josef Stalin in France and is also noted for his correspondence with and influence on Sigmund Freud.
Rolland's most famous novel is the 10-volume novel sequence Jean-Christophe. His other novels are Colas Breugnon, Clérambault, Pierre et Luce and his second roman-fleuve, the 7-volume The Enchanted Soul.
