About this title

Synopsis

Biting and bawdy, smart and smutty, lofty and low, Gargantua and Pantagruel is fantasy on the grandest of scales, told with an unquenchable thirst for all of human experience.

Rabelais's vigorous examination of the life of his times-from bizarre battles to great drinking bouts, from satire on religion and education to matter-of-fact descriptions of bodily functions and desires-is one of the great comic masterpieces of literature.

About the Author

He is the translator of many works, including Gargantua and Pantagruel (awarded the French-American Foundation Translation Prize), P�re Goriot, Beowulf, and the five romances of Chr�tien de Troyes.
