The irrepressibly racy and merrily blasphemous humor of Rabelais is here presented in irrepressibly racy and merrily blasphemous American English by the distinguished scholar Samuel Putnam who would later become the renowned translator of Don Quixote. Belgian painter Jean de Bossch�re worked in a highly eroticized Art Nouveau style influenced by Aubrey Beardsley and he calibrates carefully what he can allow himself to depict for the prudish American audience while illustrating the jolly carnality of Rabelais. Putnam's linguistic scholarship in general and scholarly notations and appendices for Rabelais in particular are admirable. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . Covici, Friede Publishers hardcover
