«Les paysans bretons au XIXe siècle» is the historical essay by Yann Brékilien, published by Hachette Litt. in paperback (376 pages, in French).
The book studies the peasant civilization of Brittany in the nineteenth century, a rural way of life widespread across Europe that disappeared with the war of 1914-1918. It addresses its ancestral customs, attachment to the land, community life and heritage of traditions, as well as the interest the region aroused in folklorists and scholars.
Originally published in 1994, it is part of the «La Vie quotidienne» collection. Yann Brékilien was a specialist in Brittany and Celtic culture.
For readers interested in French rural history and Breton culture.
