Summary "Clerambault: Geschichte eines freien Gewissens im Kriege" by Romain Rolland is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the life and thoughts of Agénor Clerambault, a sensitive and idealistic poet, as he navigates the moral struggles and emotional turmoil brought on by the outbreak of World War I. The story delves into the complexities of individual conscience when faced with the overwhelming pressures of mass society and war. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Clerambault enjoying a peaceful summer evening with his family, proudly sharing his poetry. However, this tranquility is disrupted by the unsettling news of impending war, which Clerambault initially dismisses. As he grapples with the reality of the situation, a shift occurs within him; he transitions from a state of denial to an emotional confrontation with the collective madness surrounding him. This conflict within Clerambault serves as a microcosm of the broader societal dread as individuals are compelled to confront the chaos of the world war that looms ahead. The opening lays the groundwork for a profound exploration of how a free spirit like Clerambault struggles to maintain his individuality in an era of upheaval and loss.
