Dive into the satirical and humorous world of 'Gargantua and Pantagruel' by François Rabelais. This Penguin Classics edition presents the stories of two giants, father and son, in an exploration of society, politics, and the human condition. Translated by J.M. Cohen, this classic of French literature offers a unique and entertaining view of the Renaissance.
François Rabelais was a French writer who has been called the first great French prose author. A humanist of the French Renaissance and Greek scholar, he attracted opposition from both Protestant theologian John Calvin and from the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. Though in his day he was best known as a physician, scholar, diplomat, and Catholic priest, later he became better known as a satirist for his depictions of the grotesque, and for his larger-than-life characters.
