Above The Battle

By Romain Rolland and Charles Kay Ogden

Book Overview

Above the Battle is a book written by French author Romain Rolland. It was first published in 1915 during World War I. The book is a collection of essays that criticize the war and advocate for peace. Rolland was a pacifist and believed that war was a destructive force that only caused suffering and destruction. In Above the Battle, he argues that the war was not just a conflict between nations, but a conflict between humanity and its own destructive tendencies. Rolland also discusses the role of intellectuals in promoting peace and the importance of art and culture in creating a more peaceful world. The book was widely read and translated into several languages, and Rolland was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1915 for his work. Above the Battle remains a powerful critique of war and a call for peace that is still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
