Summary: "Vie de Beethoven" by Romain Rolland is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the life and struggles of the great composer Ludwig van Beethoven, highlighting both his artistry and personal challenges, particularly his battle with deafness and loneliness. Rolland aims to present Beethoven not just as a musical genius, but as a heroic figure whose life embodies the struggle against misery and mediocrity. The opening of the work sets a poignant tone, introducing Beethoven's tumultuous existence marked by hardship and isolation. It emphasizes the oppressive environment of Europe at the time, portraying a society that stifles ambitions and nobility of spirit. Rolland expresses a belief that all who face suffering can find solace in the stories of heroes like Beethoven, who persevered through personal tragedies. The text further describes Beethoven's difficult upbringing and early life, where his talents were exploited by his father, setting the stage for a life that, while celebrated, was fraught with significant personal trials and an enduring yearning for connection and joy amidst suffering.
