"Mon oncle Benjamin" by Claude Tillier is a novel published in 1843. Set in eighteenth-century France, it follows Benjamin Rathery, a twenty-eight-year-old physician who avoids his debts, enjoys wine, and refuses marriage. When his sister pressures him to marry after a drunken duel injures his brother-in-law, Benjamin reluctantly agrees to wed a fellow doctor's daughter. But his heart belongs to Manette, the beautiful wife of the local innkeeper. This satirical novel became beloved by French singer Georges Brassens and inspired multiple film adaptations.
