| Résumé : |
The young historian Kalidas I Nag (I891—I 966) met the Nobel Pirize-winning French thinker, novelist, dramatisi, musiipher Romain Holland (I 866—1944) in Paris in April 1922, and soon became his most trusted Indian friend and ‘intellectual lieutenant’. Not a simple compliment from arnan who had friends and correspondents such as Tolstoy, Tagore, Gandhi, Gorki, Freud, Albert Schweitzer, Russell, Einstein... In the most critical of times, in the 20s and 30s, the two became close confidants. This invaluable correspondence (1922—1938)—warm, intimate, undissembling—is probably the most important of Rolland’s correspondences with the Indians.
Rolland talks about Tagore and Gandhi, a dream project of a Weltbibilothek, the Tagore—Mussolini controversy, the contradictions of the French intelligentsia, Rolland’s passionate interest in Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananada, the rise of Hitler, the squabbles over The Golden Book of Tagore, Nehru and Subhas Bose’s visit to Villeneuve and so on. The latter unlocks his heart and speaks about his own anguish and pain and reveals why he did not conic to India. This book contains an intensely personal bio—data of Rolland. He also reveals for the first time why he was castigated in France. |
