Produced by D Alexander, Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Forerunners" by Romain Rolland is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century, during the tumultuous years of World War I. The work reflects on the thoughts and struggles of individuals who resisted the tide of hatred and violence during wartime, championing the ideals of peace, human solidarity, and the power of independent thought. Through the voice of the author, we encounter various influential figures such as Maxim Gorki and Bertrand Russell, who battled against the prevailing narrative of war. At the start of the collection, Rolland dedicates the work to those who fought for a new internationalism and reflects on the collective commitment of free spirits to uphold the values of peace during a period of chaos. The introduction sets the tone by describing how the essays were created in Switzerland between 1915 and 1919 and are intended to inspire hope and reflection amid the suffering of Europe. Rolland emphasizes the importance of remembering the best aspects of humanity rather than succumbing to the worst, suggesting that through shared struggle and solidarity, a more united and peaceful future is possible.
