Overall a very handsome set. ìRabelais 1494-ca. 1553 was held in high regard by his contemporaries as an eminent physician as a pioneer of humanism and as the author of an entertaining Book. It is in this last capacity that he is chiefly known to posterity. He published Pantagruel the first installment of his great work late in 1532 or in 1533; Gargantua in 1534; the Tiers Livre de Pantagruel in 1546; part of the Quart Livre in 1548 and the whole Book in 1552. The authenticity of the Fifth Book is questionable; it certainly contains work by other hands and was perhaps worked up from fragments and imperfect or rejected drafts left by Rabelais at his death.The work does not form a single artistic whole. Composed at intervals over twenty years it varies greatly in character as the spirit moved the author or circumstances prompted; it is loosely held together by a thread of narrative and abounds in digressions. We have in the first two Books the fantastic tale of a family of giants written so Rabelais tells us in moments of relaxation for the solace of the sick though occasion is taken to expose the authorís views on education the monks and the theologians. In the Third Book the fantastic features are abandoned and we pass to a series of amusing and dramatic discussions of the questions of the day. The Fourth and Fifth Books take us on a voyage to Cathay and provide occasion for satire and propaganda suited to the political views of the French court. The interest of the whole lies in the vivid picture it gives not only of French society in the early days of the Renaissance but also of the Protean author himself: his enthusiastic humanism his love of life in all its manifestations and hatred of asceticism his interest in knowledge of all kinds above all his contempt for monkery and scholasticismî The Oxford Companion to French Literature.

A contemporary of acclaimed illustrators Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac Robinson is best known for his cartoons portraying elaborate and whimsical machinary made to complete simple tasks; in fact his fame was such that the term "Heath Robinson" was used in the United Kingdom to refer to such machinary much as the term "Rube Goldberg" was used in the United States. <br/><br/>This set is the first edition with Robinson's illustrations published in 1904 and is in remarkable condition see details below.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Full white cloth gilt illustrations and lettering on the front board and spine top edge gilt fore- and bottom edges uncut endpapers with illustrations in red each volume with a black-and-white illustrated frontispieces by W.
