«Gargantúa y Pantagruel» is the satirical novel by François Rabelais, published in paperback by Plaza & Janés (336 pages, in Spanish).
The work follows Gargantua and his son Pantagruel, two giants, in adventures marked by excess, banquets and irreverent humor, with a mordant satire of society and the customs of the time.
The 1993 edition belongs to the Milenio collection, number 163, from Plaza & Janés; the text is in Spanish.
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.
