It stands as an early literary expression of unanimism a theory of collective consciousness developed by Romains in the 1900s. As the New Oxford Companion to French Literature notes: "Before the war in 1914 Romains published. two novels Mort de quelqu'un 1911 and the farcical Les Copains influenced by Unanimist theories of social groups and collective psychology." This edition published nearly 40 years later by Le Rayon d'Or Gallimard's deluxe illustrated imprint pairs Romains's youthful anti-establishment text with twelve brilliant plates by Gus Bofa one of France's most original illustrators and caricaturists. Bofa celebrated for his sardonic wit and visual improvisation was a regular contributor to Le Rire and Crapouillot and illustrated classic texts by Swift Cervantes and La Fontaine.<br /> <br /> Renowned artist Gus Bofa b. Gustave Blanchot 1883-1968 was an illustrator for Rire and Sourire a costume and set designer a celebrated poster artist and illustrator for the literary journal Crapouillot. He soon became one of the most in demand illustrators of editions of Swift La Fontaine Cervantes etc. ultimately with one hundred and seventeen volumes to his credit. <br /> <br /> French novelist poet dramatist and essayist Jules Romains pseud. of Louis Farigoule 1885-1972 was "early in his career.associated with a short-lived artistic community the Groupe de 'Abbaye which published his poems La Vie unanime in 1908. These poems and much of his later verse and prose were influenced by Unanimist theories of social groups and collective psychology. Before the war in 1914 he published more collections of poetry a verse play.and two novels Mort de quelqu'un 1911 and the farcial Les Copains The Pals" New Oxford Companion to Literature in French p. 707.<br /> <br /> Georges Duhamel's 1884-1966 experience as a surgeon during World War I produced Vie des martyrs 1917 tr. The New Book of Martyrs 1918 and Civilisation 1918 tr. 1919. These collections of sketches are noted for their compassionate accounts of human suffering.

WALTER-FILM007501Gallimard. Softcover/Paperback. Very Good. Paris: Librairie Gallimard 1928. Vintage original book 9 x 7" 23 x 18 cm pictorial wrappers 96 pp. Stated "14th edition" on title page. Interior pages have darkened around edges and there is some scuffing on covers also a small piece has torn off the bottom left back cover. Overall very good. This is a French magazine called Le Cinema Romanesque and each issue had an adaptation of a then-current movie with an image from the movie on the cover and many images from the movie scattered on seven interior pages that were printed on high quality paper some of those pages have full page images and some have more than one on them. It is like the "movie edition" hardcover books that were put out in the U.S. at the same time except that this is a softcover magazine. This magazine provided a separate 7 x 9" single sheet that has a still-like image from the movie and that was given out loose with the magazine. The title page states that this is a 14th edition but I find this hard to believe. A search of the WorldCat database yields only two libraries owning an example of this book both in Europe. And I found no other examples of the book available online for purchase. Gallimard paperback
