Pantagruel recounts the life of a popular giant. From his portentous birth and colorful childhood, to his visit to Paris and his travels through Utopia, and not withstanding his enormous appetite, Pantagruel's history is told with a breathtaking degree of gaiety and wit. Ingeniously coining new expressions, and with an unashamed obsession with bodily functions, Rabelais blends prose and poetry, the sacred and profane, to offer a heady satire of the religious society of his day. Physician and humanist Franois Rabelais (c. 1494-1553) was a leading figure in Renaissance France.
