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).
