The following is a personality profile of Henri Barbusse based on his work.
Henri Barbusse is boisterous and unpretentious.
He is laid-back, he appreciates a relaxed pace in life. He is empathetic as well: he feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them. But, Henri Barbusse is also confident: he is hard to embarrass and is self-confident most of the time.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for discovery.
Considers helping others to guide a large part of what he does: he thinks it is important to take care of the people around him. He is also relatively unconcerned with tradition: he cares more about making his own path than following what others have done.
