Description Wiki
The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel (French: La vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel) is a pentalogy of novels written in the 16th century by Fran ois Rabelais,[a] telling the adventures of two giants, Gargantua (/???r?? ntju?/ gar-GAN-tew-?, French: [?a????t?a]) and his son Pantagruel (/p n?t ?ru?l, -?l, ?p nt???ru??l/ pan-TAG-roo-el, -??l, PAN-t?-GROO-?l, French: [p??ta??y?l]). The work is written in an amusing, extravagant, and satirical vein, features much erudition, vulgarity, and wordplay, and is regularly compared with the works of William Shakespeare and James Joyce.[1][2][3] Rabelais was a polyglot, and the work introduced "a great number of new and difficult words […] into the French language".[4] The work was stigmatised as obscene by the censors of the Coll ge de la Sorbonne,[5] and, within a social climate of increasing religious oppression in a lead up to the French Wars of Religion, it was treated with suspicion, and contemporaries avoided mentioning it.[6] "Pantagruelism", a form of stoicism, developed and applied throughout, is (among other things) "a certain gaiety of spirit confected in disdain for fortuitous things"[7] (French: une certaine ga t desprit confite dans le m pris des choses fortuites).
Description GoodReads
The dazzling and exuberant moral stories of Rabelais (c.1471-1553) expose human follies with their mischievous and often obscene humour, while intertwining the realistic with carnivalesque fantasy to make us look afresh at the world. Gargantua depicts a young giant, reduced to laughable insanity by an education at the hands of paternal ignorance, old crones and syphilitic professors, who is rescued and turned into a cultured Christian knight. And in Pantagruel and its three sequels, Rabelais parodied tall tales of chivalry and satirized the law, theology and academia to portray the bookish son of Gargantua who becomes a Renaissance Socrates, divinely guided in his wisdom, and his idiotic, self-loving companion Panurge.
