Above the Battle

by Romain Rolland

Translated by C. K. Ogden

Read

"Above the Battle" by Romain Rolland is a text written on September 15, 1914, about the First World War. This pacifist work calls for humanity to view the conflict with perspective rather than hatred. Originally titled "Above Hate," the final title sparked outrage, with critics accusing Rolland of German sympathies. The controversy intensified when he received the 1916 Nobel Prize in Literature, partly for the idealism displayed in this work.
