"Men of Good Will" (Les Hommes de bonne volonté) is a monumental epic novel cycle by Jules Romains, published in 27 volumes in French (1932–1946) and 14 volumes in English. The 1934 entry likely refers to an early volume of the translated work, such as the 1934 English version of the first volume, "Men of Good Will". The series captures the spirit of French society over a quarter-century, from 1908 to 1933, using the "unanimistic" philosophy of the collective spirit over individuals.
