"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. The story is
gay and humorous, and full of wise observations about life. ---
"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; he
idolizes his children, but his vigorous individuality makes him
unwilling to live with them. He is friendly with all, but subject
to none; he is freer than the king; he has that sense of humor
characteristic of the free spirit to whom the whole world belongs.
From the artistic point of view, 'Colas Breugnon' may perhaps be
regarded as Rolland's most successful work. This is because it is
woven in one piece, because it flows with a continuous rhythm,
because its progress is never arrested by the discussion of thorny
problems. It is written throughout in the same key. The first
sentence gives the note like a tuning fork, and thence the entire
book takes its pitch. Throughout, the same lively melody is
sustained. The writer employs a peculiarly happy form. His style is
poetic without being actually versified; it has a melodious measure
without being strictly metrical. This work is unlike any of
Rolland's other writings. It is not an historic study, a critical
appreciation, a philosophic essay, nor yet even, in the strictest
sense of the word, a novel. It is rather a volume of reminiscences
as told by a man of fifty; and the very aimlessness with which this
man talks is in itself a pleasure; for Breugnon is himself the one
subject of the book, holding our attention by the display of a
wayward, sympathetic, and aggressive personality." (Stefan Zweig)
