«L'Enfant de bonne volonté» is a selection of extracts from the novel by Jules Romains, published by Flammarion in paperback (190 pages, in French).
The volume brings together passages from «Les Hommes de bonne volonté» around Louis Bastide, a child of working-class Montmartre in 1908. His games, walks and escapades around the neighborhood make him a symbol of innocence and determination; he also appears in the face of family adversity, before imagining a generous way to earn a living. It is a portrait of childhood within the great novel-cycle of Jules Romains.
Published in 2000, it belongs to the Étonnants Classiques collection; the edition includes the introduction and the game-dossier by Olivier Rony.
Recommended for secondary school students and young readers approaching French literature, with pedagogical resources for the classroom.
Jules Romains was a French poet and writer and the founder of the Unanimism literary movement. His works include the play Knock ou le Triomphe de la médecine, and a cycle of works called Les Hommes de bonne volonté . Sinclair Lewis called him one of the six best novelists in the world.
