'Jules Romains, born Louis Henri Jean Farigoule (1885 – 1972), was a French poet and writer and the founder of the Unanimism literary movement.
During World War II he went into exile first to the United States where he spoke on the radio through the Voice of America and then, beginning in 1941, to Mexico where he participated with other French refugees in founding the Institut Français d'Amérique Latine (IFAL).

A writer on many varied topics, Jules Romain was elected to the Académie Française on 4 April 1946, occupying chair 12 (of 40).
Jules Romains is remembered today for his concept of Unanimism and his cycle of novels in Les Hommes de bonne volonté (The Men of Good Will), a remarkable literary fresco depicting the odyssey over a quarter century of two friends, the writer Jallez and politician Jerphanion, who provide an example in literature of Unanimism.'--Adopted from WIKIPEDIA
