About the Author

1494 - 1553. Tour a tour franciscain, benedictin, etudiant errant, medecin, puis cure de Meudon, il a ecrit une oeuvre qui s'inscrit dans la lignee de la litterature d'almanach ("Horribles et Epouvantables Faits et Prouesses du tres renomme Pantagruel", "Vie inestimable du grand Gargantua") et qui s'efforce de concilier culture savante et tradition populaire ("Tiers Livre, " 1546; "Quart Livre, " 1552; "Cinquieme Livre, " 1564). Rabelais est le parfait modele des humanistes de la Renaissance, qui luttent avec enthousiasme pour renouveler, a la lumiere de la pensee antique, l'ideal philosophique et moral de leur temps. Ecrivain pittoresque, il temoigne d'un don prodigieux de l'invention verbale.
