Gargantua introduces Pantagruels father-another wondrous giant. As he tells Gargantuas life story from his birth and education to his later life, Rabelais uses the events of the giants life to parody medieval and classical learning, mock traditional ecclesiastical authority, and proffer his own thoughts on humanism and society. Marked with the same warm humor, obsession with food, and scatological wit of Pantagruel, Gargantua is a further striking burlesque on Rabelais contemporaries and a glorious outpouring of Renaissance plenitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew | Mint Condition | Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon | Guaranteed packaging | No quibbles returns\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68225931149600,"sku":"USED1843910578","price":13.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/41-w-It6Z-L.jpg?v=1794330836","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/gargantua-hesperus-classics-1843910578-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
