J. P. Donleavy
"Grand to see this new rendition of a work full of what life is all about and translated with an equal authenticity."
`Most noble and illustrious drinkers...' Thus begins Gargantua and Panatgruel, a grotesque and carnivalesque collection of exuberant, fantastical stories that take us from the ancient world through to the European Renaissance. At the heart of these tall tales are the giant Gargantua and his equally seismic son Pantagruel. Magical adventures, maniacal punning, slapstick humor, erudite allusions and just about any bodily function one can think of, here is quite possibly the zaniest, most risqué book ever written.
