Features: "The Lives of the Great" is a collection of three biographies—Beethoven, Michelangelo, and Tolstoy—written by the outstanding French realist writer and Nobel Prize laureate Roman Rolland. It is a masterpiece in the world of biographical literature. In the works, Rolland vividly portrays the spiritual journeys of the three artistic giants as they endure hardships and trials yet remain steadfast in their convictions. He highlights their noble character, compassionate emotions, and broad-mindedness, composing a grand and heart-stirring "symphony of heroes." In 2003, the Ministry of Education of China designated it as a required reading for high school students in the "Curriculum Standards for Compulsory Education Chinese Language."
