About
"Lors du premier conflit mondial, les États ont manifesté une telle barbarie que la coopération des cultures, aux yeux de Romain Rolland, est seule capable de faire émerger une nouvelle humanité. Les nombreuses correspondances entre l'écrivain et ses amis indiens, ses études consacrées à Ramakrishna et Vivekananda, les visites dans sa villa de Villeneuve en Suisse, d'hôte prestigieux tels Tagore et Gandhi, constituent les conditions idéales d'un échange sans équivalent dans l'histoire littéraire du XXe siècle entre l'Europe et l'Inde. Ainsi se développe un échange fructueux dont le présent volume aborde les différentes expressions tant au plan culturel et politique que religieux et social. En observant un respect mutuel, le dialogue entre les continents indien et européen fait ainsi apparaître des rapports de complémentarité dans lesquels deux mondes unis montrent le chemin à suivre pour l'avenir"--

  1. 1

    How does the unprecedented brutality of the First World War serve as a catalyst for Romain Rolland’s turn toward Eastern philosophy, and how do you see similar global crises pushing people today to look beyond their own cultural borders for answers?

  2. 2

    Rolland engaged in profound intellectual exchanges with iconic figures like Rabindranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi; if you could have been a fly on the wall in Rolland’s Swiss villa during one of these visits, what modern global issue would you most want to hear them debate?

  3. 3

    The book explores the spiritual and philosophical intersections between European thought and Indian mysticism through figures like Ramakrishna and Vivekananda; in your own life, have you ever found that a radically different cultural perspective helped clarify your own deeply held beliefs?
