This French text set of classic literature by Rabelais (1495-1553) is famous for its bawdy, satirical nature. Pantagruel is a tale of comic chivalry, which satirizes lawyers, theologians, and academic buffoons, while Gargantua mocks rash generals, idiotic monarchs, and uncouth professors. It champions freedom, and laughs at a dirty young giant before he turns into a splendid prince. Some related ephemera has been laid in.
