Gargantua And Pantagruel Hardback
by Francois Rabelais
Part of the Everyman's Library CLASSICS series
Hardback
Description
Rabelais's hilarious, scabrous and often scatological fantasy of life amonth the monks and friars of sixteenth-century France remains a satirical and comic classic.
A great broth of a book in which every conceivable literary form is parodied and every human desire satirized.
But under the comedy there is a serious purpose, for Rabelais also enspouses a positive view of life in which tolerance, goodness, understanding and wisdom are opposed to dogmatism, pride and cruelty.
The book is here presented in the classic translation by Urquhart and Motteux.
