Romain ROLLAND (1866-1944) writer. AUTOGRAPHIC MANUSCRIT, To - Lot 669
Romain ROLLAND (1866-1944) writer. AUTOGRAPHIC MANUSCRIT, To all the men of the French Revolution, their common work!, June 1939; 3 1/2 pages in-4. For the 150th anniversary of the Revolution. After having recalled the role of the philosophers and especially of Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the evolution of thoughts and society in the whole of Europe at the end of the 18th century, R. Rolland concludes: "We celebrate the genius of liberty, which inspired and raised the conscience of the world, in these heroic times. If so many powerful minds, in England, in Germany, in America, as well as in France, recognized themselves in the French Revolution, it is because they participated in the same wave of thought, in this irresistible current which was to force the doors of the future, which covered a new era [...] Let us not dissociate any nation from this whole! All of them have provided great craftsmen to the common work. The French Revolution was for all. It is for all. With all the free men of all the peoples we celebrate a new festival of the Federation. And all together, let us defend our Revolution! Let us continue it!"
