Vaillant-Couturier was the pen name of Paul Charles Couturier. Both he and the artist Jean Lurçat were members of the French Communist Party PCF, and Couturier was, intermittently, editor-in-chief of its newspaper L'Humanité. "Jean sans pain" tells the story of a starving orphan who befriends a hare that can fly and a flock of partridges. They encounter rich but dishonest people, and end up in the midst of battle during the First World War. The moral of the story is that war is ugly, and that he who does not work shall not eat.
