The Lives, Heroic Deeds & Sayings of Gargantua & his Son Pantagruel by Dr Francis Rabelais. Books I & II
Pantagruel (French: Les Cinq livres des faits et dits de Gargantua et Pantagruel), often shortened to Gargantua and Pantagruel or the Cinq Livres (Five Books), is a pentalogy of novels written in the 16th century by François Rabelais. The novel-cycle relates the adventures of two giants in hyperbolic, satirical prose. Using humor ranging from slapstick to irony, Rabelais explores serious themes such as the development of education and religious reformation.
Translated from French into English by Sir Thomas Urquhart & Peter Le Motteux
