Gilt on front board rubbed, board corners bumped. 1982 Hard Cover. 714 pp. Brown cloth binding with gilt decoration and gilt edges. Decorative endpapers. "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 François Rabelais,[a] telling the adventures of two giants, Gargantua (/É¡ÉËrËɡæntjuÉ/ gar-GAN-tew-É, French: [É¡aÊÉ¡ÉÌtÉ¥a]) and his son Pantagruel (/pænËtæɡruÉl, -Él, ËpæntÉËÉ¡ruËÉl/ pan-TAG-roo-el, -â Él, PAN-tÉ-GROO-Él, French: [pÉÌtaÉ¡ÊyÉl]). 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 Collège 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 gaîté d'esprit confite dans le mépris des choses fortuites)."--Wikipedia
