"Colas Breugnon: Récit bourguignon" by Romain Rolland is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book presents the life and musings of the central character, Colas Breugnon, a jovial and reflective carpenter in Burgundy, who appreciates the simple pleasures of life and the subtleties of human relationships. Through his eyes, the reader explores themes of family, community, and the impact of war while embracing a warm, humorous tone. The opening of the novel sets a lively and introspective tone as Colas Breugnon reflects on his past and the richness of his life in Burgundy, filled with family and memories. He describes himself as a good-natured man in his fifties, surrounded by a loving family and his beloved craft of woodworking. Despite the looming threat of war, Colas finds joy in small moments—a glass of wine, his affectionate grandchildren, and the idyllic scenery of his home. This introduction to his character lays the groundwork for a narrative that promises humor, warmth, and a deep appreciation for the pleasures of life amidst turmoil.
