Product description

With his birth itself a monumental exploit in itself, it is clear that the giant Pantagruel is destined to great things, and the novel that bears his name chronicles his the remarkable life of the exuberant youth: from his voracious reading habits to his escapades with the knave Panurge and his prowess in battle. The second work in this volume deals with the history of his father Gargantua, whose biography is equally if not more outlandish and larger than life. But these bawdy and boisterous tales, with their fixation on food and faeces, are not just entertaining yarns, as Francois Rabelais, one of the foremost humanists of the sixteenth century, parodies medieval learning, lambasts the established church authority and develops his own ideal visions for the ordering of society. Translated by critically-acclaimed translator Andrew Brown, this edition contains a wealth of material which will make this edition ideal for students Sdílet 0

About Restorio.eu

We give things a new story. We sell and buy books, Lego sets, board games and PC games. In the beginning, it was the wish of two enthusiasts to improve the functioning of second-hand bookstores and be beneficial to the world. Today, we create a huge community of conscious people who are looking for a sustainable shopping choice from a financial and environmental perspective. And with them, with you, we write new stories of things that would otherwise remain forgotten. We will send you the money for everything you sell to us immediately. With us, you don't wait for the books to sell. We will do what we say. We believe that even the smallest details are of great importance, so we think through every aspect of our business, from the way we buy books, through packaging materials to communication with each of you. We have designed our Restocks loyalty program of shopping credits to reward you for every support you give.
