Synopsis

The Works of Rabelais is a collection of literary works by the French Renaissance writer, Francois Rabelais. The book includes five major works, including the famous satirical novel Gargantua and Pantagruel, which follows the adventures of two giants and their friends. Rabelais' writing is known for its bawdy humor and social commentary, often poking fun at the religious and political institutions of his time. The Works of Rabelais also includes his lesser-known works, such as The Life of Gargantua's Father and The Third Book of Pantagruel. This collection provides a comprehensive view of Rabelais' unique writing style and his contributions to French literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
