The Complete Works of Francois Rabelais

Rip-roaring and rib-tickling, Francois Rabelais' irreverent story of the giant Gargantua, his giant son Pantagruel, and their companion Panurge is a classic of the written word. This translation, annotated for the nonspecialist, brings to twentieth-century English all the exuberance and invention of the original sixteenth-century French.
