Appreciation of Romano Roland's Who's Who

"A great soul is like a mountain peak. I don't say that ordinary human beings can survive on the mountain peak. But once a year, they should go up and bow. There, they can change the breathing in the lungs and the blood flow in blood vessels. There, they will feel closer to eternity. Later, they returned to the wasteland of life, full of courage in daily fighting "-romain rolland. "

Just as sometimes we hear a song that we have sung in the past will bring back many memories, sometimes we will be inexplicably moved when we see a book that we have read in the past. When I think of those great and noble souls in Who's Who, I can't help but feel the passion of life colliding in me. Although maybe I really can't understand this thin but heavy little book. However, I believe that everyone who comes into contact with it will more or less experience the compelling passion in the book, the enrichment and lofty pursuit of life.

In the stormy waves of life, there is always a book to accompany you. When you are depressed, when you face setbacks, when you doubt that you have lost the direction of life, find it and read it. It will comfort you, inspire you, let you wash away your fatigue, erase your sadness and get on the road again. To me, this book is who's who! I am the source of spirit and strength.

The Biography of Who Is Who was written by the famous French writer romain rolland. The works of Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy were all written in the early 20th century, which had a wide influence at that time and later. In these three biographies, romain rolland did not make any boastful narration about the life of celebrities, nor did he trace back the creative process of celebrities like most biographers. Instead, we firmly grasp the similarities between these three great artists and focus on describing their long-term suffering and pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. Romain rolland called them "heroes" and wrote with touching pen and ink their lofty courage to fight against fate and great feelings to bear the suffering of all mankind, which can be said to be a great song of fate for us.

"My physical strength and intelligence have increased than ever before ... my youth, yes, I feel that my youth has just begun. I have vaguely seen the goal ahead, although it is not clear, but it is getting closer every day ... ah! If I can get rid of this disease, I will embrace the whole world! ..... I didn't know there was rest besides sleeping. Unfortunately, I have to spend more time sleeping. I hope I can get rid of the disease, even if it is half! ..... no, I can't stand it. I will hold my destiny by the throat, and it will never make me completely yield. Oh, if only I could live thousands of times! " -"The Biography of Beethoven"

Only pain, there is joy!

-Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven, the greatest musician of German classicism, is such an unfortunate and strong man: he began to be deaf in his youth. What could be more unfortunate for a person who lives by music? Who can imagine his feelings and pain in the long torture? God is cruel. He gave Beethoven the best music, but deprived him of the right to enjoy it. He can't hear his own music. While people are enjoying the happiness brought by his music, he has to endure the silent torture alone! And it is this man who wrote so much music, and it is often joyful music-the joy that emanates from the sky and spreads to people's hearts! He grasped the fate by the throat. Every work of his is the result of hard struggle and a symbol of victory.

An unfortunate person, caused by poverty, disability, loneliness and pain, created joy for the world instead of joy for him! He used suffering to shape happiness, as if to interpret it with that brave words, which can sum up his life and become the motto of all heroes: "Only suffering can make you happy!" "

"He is very lonely. -He hates people and is hated by others. He does, but nobody loves him. People respect and fear him. Finally, he aroused people's religious reverence. He is ahead of his time. So, he calmed down a little. He looks at people from above, and people look at him from below. He is always single. He never rests, and he can't taste the gentleness that even the meanest person can enjoy. He has never slept in another person's gentle arms for a minute in his life. He has never been loved by a woman. In this desert-like world, only Victoria Colona's friendship has ever shone with pure and cold stars. It was dark around, and only his fiery thoughts-his desires and crazy dreams-flew by. Beethoven had never experienced such a dark night. Because this night is in Michelangelo's heart. Beethoven's grief and indignation is the fault of society, but he was born happy and longed for happiness. Michelangelo, on the other hand, is melancholy and frightening, which makes people instinctively avoid him. He created a blank around himself. " -Biography of Michelangelo

David uses his slingshot, and I use my bow and arrow.

Michelangelo

Beethoven's pain comes from pain, and Michelangelo's pain comes from his contradictory soul: he is neither disabled nor poor. He comes from a noble family, a noble family in Florence. He received a good education from an early age and has a high cultural accomplishment and artistic foundation. However, his motherland was devastated, foreign enemies invaded, people were enslaved, and his hard work was destroyed again and again by war. He is very rich, and every time he finishes a work, he will get a large reward, but he lives like a pauper, eating only bread and drinking only a few hours' sleep every day. He lived an amazing life, longed for love all his life, and wrote a lot of fiery and pure sonnets, but he was unmarried and lonely all his life. His family never gave him any warmth, and always squeezed his money again and again, using his reputation to show off everywhere, but his deep-rooted family concept and the idea of glorifying his ancestors made him generous; He is arrogant. He insisted on his own independent viewpoint in art and even fell out with the Pope, but he was weak and ridiculous. He always chooses to compromise and surrender at critical moments, and makes all kinds of absurd actions that are inconsistent with his reputation. His artistic talent is amazing and ambitious, and he has created amazing masterpieces such as David, Slave and Moses, but he still has to work hard for the Pope. The task was not completed yet, and a new task was urging him, so the greatest work he planned was abandoned halfway. He has been overworked all his life, and at the same time he has to endure inner condemnation for those unfinished works; In his later years, he became the last master of art in the Renaissance. People respect him like they respect God. No one dares to challenge his authority, but he is more and more pious and nervous before God.

Despite Michelangelo's shortcomings, he failed to realize his greatest plan, but no one can deny that his art represents the great humanistic spirit of the Renaissance. From David, we can see people's ideals, dignity and will. From "Moses and Slaves", we can see the struggle between man and fate ... Michelangelo created gods, but he showed people's distress and feelings in reality!

"His face has a fixed feature that will be engraved in human memory forever. There are two slightly curved wrinkles on the broad forehead, white eyebrows are unusually thick, and a beard of loyal elders reminds people of the statue of Moses in Dijon. The old face became calm and gentle, leaving traces of illness, sadness and kindness. How much he has changed from being rough and bold at the age of twenty to being cautious and serious when he joined the army! But the bright eyes are still sharp and deep, straightforward and straightforward, but smart and discerning. " -Tolstoy Biography

I cry, I suffer, I just want to know the truth.

-lev tolstoy

The situation in lev tolstoy is completely different. He comes from a well-known family, enjoys a superior position and is well-fed and well-fed. He is healthy, happily married and has a loving wife and children. His literary talent is very high, and every work has received rave reviews. He is a towering literary peak. He not only showed readers a broad picture of modern Russian history, but also wrote a wonderful book about the soul of the Russian nation. He created vivid characters, each of which made people nod and say, "Yes, Russians are like this." In a word, he is a man who seems to have everything, but his pain is just born from this. He is kind by nature and compassionate to others. He feels calm about the miserable situation of the urban poor, numb and miserable about the poor life of farmers, guilty about his material wealth and rich life, and distressed that he can't bear to get rid of the shackles of his family and live an ascetic life ... In short, his spirit of fraternity makes him unable to stand the pain of others. He longs for world harmony and people's prosperity. He hopes that all people can live a happy and peaceful life. In order to realize his ideal, he first changed his living condition and let himself live and work with farmers. He carried out reforms in his own manor, liberated serfs and distributed land to tenant farmers. He preached "religion of love", advocated "no violence against violence" and even suggested that "the enemy hits you in the left face and sticks out the right face". In his later years, his thoughts even intensified, and he even planned to.

Roman Roland said: Life is harsh. For those who are uneasy about mediocrity, life is an endless struggle, often without honor or happiness, and it is a sad struggle silently in loneliness. This is probably the best explanation for Tolstoy's behavior.

At the beginning of Who's Who, romain rolland shouted, "Open the window! Let the free air come back! Take a breath of the hero. " The hero he said is not a person dominated by ideas or strength, but a person with great heart. The Biography of Who Well confirms a famous saying of China native Su Shi: People who have made great achievements in ancient and modern times not only have talent, but also have persistent determination. Beethoven's "Seeking refuge in sadness and forbearance", Michelangelo's "The more I suffer, the more I like it" and Tolstoy's "I cry, I suffer, I just want the truth" all show that a great life is an endless battle.

Roman Roland said at the end of the biography of Michelangelo that a great soul is like a mountain. "I don't say that ordinary humans can survive at the peak. But once a year, they should go up and bow. There, they can change the breathing in the lungs and the blood flow in blood vessels. There, they will feel closer to eternity. Later, they returned to the wasteland of life, and their hearts were full of courage in daily fighting. " I hope everyone who is lucky enough to read this book can find the motivation to move forward!

Reading Notes of Who's Who

Whose Biography is a book composed of biographies of Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy.

Romain rolland said, "Open the window! Let the free air come back! Let us breathe the breath of heroes. " I don't know why, but I think this sentence contains profound philosophy. Perhaps this is the purpose of the author's writing this book. For the era at that time, this work was a good spiritual food.

Before reading this work, I always thought Beethoven was a very lucky man, but I didn't expect him to be so unlucky. Yes, his life is rough. The most unfortunate thing in his life happened to him. Think about it. As a musician, he is deaf. What a tragic thing it is! Moreover, the pain caused by this deadly disease to the musician is unimaginable, but all the hardships have made him stronger: he is in pain, but he refuses to give in to fate; He is poor, but he does not follow the trend, nor does he cater to the trend, and always maintains an independent personality; He is lonely, but he can love human beings passionately; He never enjoyed joy, but he created and dedicated himself to the whole world. However, he did not hear people's praise for him, nor did he hear some excellent works he created.

Beethoven's courage, hard work and persistence were not in vain, because he finally succeeded, and he overcame many unimaginable and unbearable pains and diseases. One more thing, as a musician, the performers on the stage are not supported, affirmed and favored by the audience, which is undoubtedly a painful pressure and brings heavy frustration to the soul. However, he still defeated them; His efforts inspired people all over the world; His strength was proved, so in the end he climbed to the top of his life.

Romain rolland once said, "Life is harsh. For those who are uneasy about mediocrity, life is an endless struggle, and it is often a sad struggle in loneliness without honor and happiness. " The three celebrities described by the author are all mediocre people, but they have encountered more unimaginable difficulties and obstacles than ordinary people. But they are all people who bravely stood up from many difficulties, and they are also great men and celebrities forged from various difficulties. They still do not yield to the challenges and tests of fate. All three of them are heroes recognized by the author, because they all have the same heroic character: first, they have indomitable enterprising spirit; Second, always maintain personal dignity, abide by personal independence, neither yield to power nor blindly follow the masses; Third, he has the spirit of caring and caring for people and is willing to dedicate himself to the well-being of mankind.
