Paris Garnier-Flammarion 1968. Hardcover. Very Good. 7x5x0. 2 volume set printed 1968-1969. Fine bindings. Bound in green cloth. Gilt ornamentation. Hardcover. Minor shelf wear. Clean unmarked pages. <br> "The novels present the comic and satiric story of the giant Gargantua and his son Pantagruel and various companions whose travels and adventures are a vehicle for ridicule of the follies and superstitions of the times. The first two novels were published under the anagrammatic pseudonym Alcofribas Alcofrybas Nasier. The first book commonly called Pantagruel 1532 deals with some of the fantastic incidents of the early years of Pantagruel. Rabelais displayed his profound comic sense love of language and storytelling genius within the framework of a mock-heroic romance. Pantagruel is endowed with enormous strength and appetites and his early years are full of fantastic incidents. While at the University of Paris he receives a letter from his father that is still considered an essential exposition of French Renaissance ideals. In Paris Pantagruel also meets the cunning rogue Panurge who becomes his companion throughout the series. In Gargantua 1534 old-fashioned scholastic pedagogy is ridiculed and contrasted with the humanist ideal of King Francis I whose efforts to reform the French church Rabelais supported." - Britannica Paris, Garnier-Flammarion hardcover
