Gargantua and Pantagruel

<b>A masterly new translation of Rabelais's robust scatalogical comedy</b> <p> Parodying everyone from classic authors to his own contemporaries the dazzling and exuberant stories of Rabelais expose human follies with mischievous and often obscene humor. <i>Gargantua</i> depicts a young giant who becomes a cultured Christian knight. <i>Pantagruel</i> portrays Gargantua's bookish son who becomes a Renaissance Socrates divinely guided by wisdom and by his idiotic self-loving companion Panurge. <p/></p>
