Meet Pantagruel, the giant son of Gargantua, and his wickedly clever friend Panurge. Book II of Rabelais's comic epic tells of Pantagruel's monstrous birth, his student days in Paris, his first meeting with Panurge, a debate conducted entirely in hand signs against a scholar from England, and a war against the Dipsodes and their giants. Bursting with wordplay, bawdy jokes, and Renaissance learning, it comes in the classic translation by Sir Thomas Urquhart and Peter Motteux. Five centuries later, readers are still laughing. Beautifully typeset Tydbyts Classics edition.
