Pierre entered the subway head-first. A violent, contagious throng. He stood close to the entrance, squeezed against a group of people, sharing the heavy air that was coming in and out of their lips, and he peered without noticing them at the pitch-black, rumbling vaults above which the train's bright eyes flashed. A young man, just eighteen years old and yet almost a kid, had a deep dread filling his heart. Pierre admired Philip with the same passion that younger children frequently feel for older siblings or other strangers who are sometimes only glimpsed at for an hour before they are gone again.

As a "tribute to the lofty idealism of his literary creation and to the sympathy and love of truth with which he has depicted diverse sorts of human beings," Romain Rolland received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1915. He was a French dramatist, novelist, essayist, art historian, mystic, and mystic. He was influenced by Indian Vedanta philosophy, particularly by Swami Vivekananda's writings. He made a huge contribution to the democratization of theatre with his support for a "people's theatre." When he was 36 years old and writing his first book, it was released in 1902.One of the few French authors who still adhered to his pacifist internationalist principles was Romain Rolland. His book on Gandhi helped to establish the nonviolent Indian leader's fame in 1924, and the two men eventually met. He and Edmund Bordeaux Szekely created the International Biogenic Society in 1928 to further the fusion of the intellect, body, and spirit. He was one of the founding members of the Willi Münzenberg-founded World Committee Against War and Fascism. He completed his memoirs and put the final touches on his musical study of Ludwig van Beethoven's life during the Nazi occupation of France in 1940. On December 30, 1944, he passed away at Vézelay.
