# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Romain Rolland was born on 29 January 1866 in France and built a career that spanned drama, novels, essays, art history, and mysticism. The Nobel committee honored him in 1915 for the sympathy and love of truth with which he described different types of human beings. He became an admirer of Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore, eventually writing a biography of Gandhi that still holds relevance. His correspondence network stretched across continents: letters with Maxim Gorki, Tagore, Sigmund Freud, and other thinkers mapped a web of intellectual exchange through war and upheaval. He died on 30 December 1944, having spent a life translating idealism into words and bridging distant minds through the page.
