This book offers a rich exploration of the bawdy and absurd with French Renaissance author, François Rabelais', satirical masterpiece â" Gargantua and Pantagruel. First published in the 16th century (more than 100 years before Jonathan Swift and close to 300 years before Lewis Carroll), this tale of giants and their misadventures skewers authority and established norms with its fantastical elements and wordplay. A significant and enduring work of literature and a cornerstone of Western Canon, Gargantua and Pantagruel is a fascinating read for anyone interested in early modern literature, the history of satire, and the evolution of comedy.
