«Gargantua Pantagruel» is a school edition with excerpts from François Rabelais's satirical work, in paperback (287 pages, in French).
A 16th-century narrative work that follows the adventures of the giants Gargantua and his son Pantagruel. Through burlesque episodes, Rabelais satirizes education, religion, and society of his time, in a comic and erudite style that makes it a key work of French Renaissance humanism.
The series «Gargantua and Pantagruel» comprises five novels. This volume belongs to the Bibliolycée collection from Hachette.
For high school students working on French classics in the original version; includes excerpts, not the complete work.
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.
