Rolland's purposeful life was entirely devoted to creativity, and creativity for him was both a means of self-expression and action, struggle. Rolland wrote for those who are at the head of the army on the campaign, for the people. And the people remember and honor Romain Rolland, a writer who, together with all advanced humanity, walked, as he himself put it, a path that winds upward. The novel reflected with great completeness the path of the author’s ideological quest after the First World War and the revolutionary outcome of these quests. He embodied in this narrative the most important life processes of the era: the death of the old world and the birth of a new one, recreated the paths and crossroads of Western intellectuals-truth-seekers, their delusions and breakthroughs to the truth, their defeats and victories. The novel “The Enchanted Soul” is the pinnacle of Romain Rolland’s work. The main problem of the novel is the path and fate of the French intelligentsia. The artistic and philosophical axis of the cycle is the interaction of the inner world of the characters and the external circumstances of their existence. The author gives priority not to depicting the events of the heroes’ lives, but to analyzing their spiritual universe.
