Synopsis
Excerpt from French Classics for English Readers; Rabelais
The date of his birth is equally uncertain. All we can say is, that it took place toward the end of the fifteenth century. Tradition places it as early as 1483, but that is hardly probable.

French Classics for English Readers; Rabelais (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is both a satire and an educational text in the way it presents the life of the giant Gargantua and his son Pantagruel, two literary figures born of the early Renaissance humanist movement in France. The author uses these larger-than-life figures to skewer everything around him from the legal system to the education system to the Catholic Church. The giant Pantagruel represents the authorās ideal of a well-educated man of the 16th century: he speaks a dozen languages, is an expert in philosophy and science, but he also has giant strength and courage and is always ready to fight off any attackers, who represent the reactionary forces of the day seeking to crush the Renaissance movement. Gargantua and Pantagruel was a massive success when it came out in the 1500s and its influence can be seen in the works of major writers such as Rabelais, Voltaire, and James Joyce. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331453963_0
