Meet the giant who gave us the word gargantuan. Book I of Rabelais's comic epic tells the life of Gargantua: his eleven months in his mother's womb, his outrageous birth, his education in Paris, where he steals the bells of Notre Dame, and his father's war against King Picrochole, sparked by a quarrel over cakes and won with the help of the brawling Friar John. Condemned by the censors of its day, it mixes vulgar humor with sharp satire, in the classic translation by Sir Thomas Urquhart and Peter Motteux. Beautifully typeset Tydbyts Classics edition.
