Romain Rolland
And Gandhi
Correspondence
PUBLICATIONS DIVISION
This collection of Romain Rolland's
correspondence with and about Mahatma
Gandhi and other writings including extracts
from his diary tell the story of how the great
French humanist came to conceive “an infinite
love and veneration for Gandhi's person, for his
great heart burning with love”, and how, at a
time when Gandhiji's creed of nonviolence
seemed to have little chance of being
understood in the violence-filled air of Europe,
became, in his own words, “one of the first in
the West to discover and spread the Word of the
Mahatma”. A European intellectual and artist
who, as he himself said, realized God “in the
particular field of beauty and truth”, Romain
Rolland nevertheless recognized that of “all the
paths of service that of the Mahatma is one of
the straightest and most luminous.”
