This edition, published in 1974 by Círculo de Amigos de la Historia, invites you to explore the adventures of two giants with a unique and humorous narrative style. A classic work that challenges conventions and offers a critical look at the society of its time.
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.
