"Colas Breugnon" is a charming romance of life in Burgundy three hundred years ago. It is an "autobiographical" novel, the story being told in the first person by Colas, who reviews his fifty years of life, and describes all its joys and sorrows.
In this work, written during World War I, Rolland contrasts the destructive hatred with the joy of life, humor, and solidarity. Kola is a kind of Burgundian Falstaff or Rabelais' Gargantua – rough but noble, earthly but deeply humane.
A story about family love, about memory's ability to keep the truth alive, and about the danger of denying memory. At the same time extensive and intimate, comic and tragic, it is a kaleidoscopic, deeply emotional saga about home and the heart.
