Used book – L'Enfant de bonne volonté, Jules Romains

In Men of Goodwill, Jules Romains naturally made room for childhood. And no one conquered this place better than little Louis Bastide, a child from the working-class Montmartre of 1908, whom we see here running behind his enchanted hoop or, after misfortune strikes his home, prey to the darkest thoughts, before imagining a generous way to earn a living. Louis Bastide? An unforgettable figure of "goodwill." The comrade of yesteryear who would be the pal of today's children.
