François Rabelais

The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel (French: La vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel) is a pentalogy of novels written in the 16th century by Fran ois Rabelais, telling the adventures of two giants, Gargantua (and his son Pantagruel). The work is written in an amusing, extravagant, and satirical vein; features much erudition, vulgarity, and wordplay; and is regularly compared with the works of Shakespeare and James Joyce. Rabelais was a polyglot, and the work introduced "a great number of new and difficult words into the French language". The work was stigmatised as obscene by the censors of the Coll ge de la Sorbonne, and, within a social climate of increasing religious oppression in a lead up to the French Wars of Religion.
