More about the book
The narrative follows the whimsical adventures of two giants, Gargantua and his son Pantagruel, blending humor, satire, and erudition. Rabelais' unique style incorporates vulgarity and wordplay, drawing comparisons to literary giants like Shakespeare and Joyce. His work enriched the French language with numerous new terms but faced censorship from the Collège de la Sorbonne due to its perceived obscenity, reflecting the tensions of the era leading up to the French Wars of Religion.
