| Summary | "Colas Breugnon" by Romain Rolland is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book introduces us to the titular character, Colas Breugnon, a lively and humorous carpenter from Burgundy, who reflects on his life, family, and the nature of existence with a distinctively French spirit. Through Colas's wit and observations, Rolland explores themes of life, love, and the simple joys of being human. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Colas's character, presenting him as a jovial and somewhat self-deprecating elderly man who takes stock of his life while enjoying a moment of solitude. He describes the comforts of his surroundings, including his family and the challenges he faces, all of which are interwoven with humorous anecdotes that depict both his pride in his craftsmanship and the bonds he shares with loved ones. Through his lively storytelling and philosophical musings, Colas invites readers into his world, providing a glimpse of the warmth and richness of life, punctuated by the realities of aging and the inevitability of change.
