Romain Rolland: Colas Breugnon.
A Burgundian Story
(Novel)

"Colas Breugnon" is a charming romance of life in Burgundy three hundred years ago. Colas Breugnon is the jovial Burgundian, the lusty wood-carver, the practical joker always fond of his glass, the droll fellow. Before everything, Colas Breugnon is a free man. He loves his king, but only so long as the king leaves him his liberty; he loves his wife, but follows his own bent; he is on excellent terms with the priest of a neighboring parish, but never goes to church.
