Features: On one hand, this book depicts how a strong-willed character overcomes his inner enemies, resists a hypocritical society, and rejects morbid art. It not only becomes the adventure story of the protagonist, Christopher, but also an epic of music. On the other hand, it reflects the struggles and passions of the generation at the beginning of the 20th century, blending the ideals of the three great national spirits of Germany, France, and Italy. In Roman Rolland's own words, it is like a "spiritual will" of an era.
