About the Author
Francois Rabelais is known through his work more than through the details of his life, which are scanty. Born in the late fifteenth century, he first chose the monastic life, then left to become a lay priest and make a career as a physician, teacher, and writer. Donald M. Frame, (1911-1991) was Professor of French at Columbia University, and a renowned translator of, and expert on, Montaigne and Moliere as well as Rabelais. Raymond C. La Charite is Professor of French at the University of Kentucky and editor of "French Forum" and French Forum Monographs.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Pantagruel, a giant who sets sail with his friends on a journey filled with fantastical adventures and encounters. Written in the 16th century by Francois Rabelais, this sprawling epic is a parody of chivalric romances. The author explores themes of free thought, education, religion, and the human condition through a series of episodes that mix satire, humor, and philosophical musings. Along the way, Pantagruel's crew engages in debates on everything from theology to gastronomy. This book is seen as one of the greatest works of French literature, renowned for its exuberant language, bawdy humor, and enduring insights into the human experience.
