Gargantua and Pantagruel

Meer over het boek

The narrative features the fantastical adventures of two giants, Gargantua and Pantagruel, who engage in absurd and grotesque escapades. Blending satire, humor, and philosophical inquiry, this classic Renaissance work explores themes of humanism and the complexities of life through the lens of ribald storytelling. Their exploits serve as a critique of contemporary society and its norms, making the tale both entertaining and thought-provoking.
