Noël Du Fail

Japanese: デュ・ファイユ(英語表記)Noël Du Fail
Noël Du Fail
1520?-91
French storyteller. He was a Burgundian nobleman and a capable judge, but throughout his life he wrote collections of short stories set in rural areas. Les buonos (1547) records old tales told by village elders in the shade of oak trees, while Les buonos (1548) is a collection of events encountered by the author's alter-ego in the village. Both works excel in their precise depiction of rural life, and their lively style, which makes use of dialect, suggests the great influence of Rabelais.

フランスの物語作家。ブルゴーニュ地方の貴族で有能な裁判官であったが,生涯にわたって農村を舞台にした小話集を書き綴った。《田園閑談》(1547)は樫の木陰で村の長老たちが語り合う昔話を記録し,《よしなし草》(1548)は作者の分身などが村の中で遭遇したできごとを集めたという体裁をとったものである。いずれも精密な田園生活の描写において優れ,方言を活用した生き生きした文体はラブレーの影響の大きさを思わせる。
