En av världslitteraturens mest banbrytande romaner

Gargantua är enorm och glupsk redan som spädbarn. »Lakat!« ropar han direkt efter att ha fötts ur sin moders öra, vilket på hans modersmål betyder »Törstig!«. Han visar sig vara ett smart och uppfinningsrikt barn, men uppskattar inte den traditionella skola han sätts i. Gargantua promenerar därför till Paris för att studera vid Sorbonne, där han genom sin styrka och begåvning vinner folkets gunst. Olyckligtvis råkar han dränka en stor del av staden i urin efter att ha druckit för mycket. Så småningom återvänder Gargantua hem, där han grundar religionen Thelema och ett kloster med mottot »gör vad du vill«. Där får han också sonen Pantagruel tillsammans med sin kärlek Badebec. Den store Gargantuas förskräckliga leverne är den mest berömda av fem böcker, utgivna mellan 1532-1564, om Gargantua och hans son Pantagruel. Genom sin groteska humor och sitt folkliga tilltal nådde romanerna stor popularitet, och trots sträng censur utgör de en skarp kritik mot dåtidens utbildningssyn och religiösa dogmer. Här i Holger Petersen Dyggves klassiska översättning.

FRANÇOIS RABELAIS [ca 1490-1553] var en fransk författare, läkare och humanist. Han har kallats Frankrikes första stora prosaförfattare, och anses jämte Cervantes vara en av romankonstens grundare. 1546 brändes utgivaren av Rabelais böcker, Étienne Dolet, på bål anklagad för kätteri.

The dazzling and exuberant moral stories of Rabelais (c. 1471-1553) expose human follies with their mischievous and often obscene humour, while intertwining the realistic with carnivalesque fantasy to make us look afresh at the world. Gargantua depicts a young giant, reduced to laughable insanity by an education at the hands of paternal ignorance, old crones and syphilitic professors, who is rescued and turned into a cultured Christian knight. And in Pantagruel and its three sequels, Rabelais parodied tall tales of chivalry and satirized the law, theology and academia to portray the bookish son of Gargantua who becomes a Renaissance Socrates, divinely guided in his wisdom, and his idiotic, self-loving companion Panurge.

The Squashed edition of Gargantua and Pantagruel by Francois Rabelais. Abridged from the original text to read in an hour or so. Squashed editions are precise abridgements - the original ideas, in their own words, the full beam of the book, the quotable quotes and all the famous lines, but neatly honed down to the length of a readable short story. "Like reading the bible without all the begats" - Prof. Jim Curtis

Rabelais's vigorous examination of the life of his times-from bizarre battles to great drinking bouts, from satire on religion and education to matter-of-fact descriptions of bodily functions and desires-is one of the great comic masterpieces of literature.

Rip-roaring and rib-tickling, Francois Rabelais' irreverent story of the giant Gargantua, his giant son Pantagruel, and their companion Panurge is a classic of the written word. This complete translation by Donald Frame, helpfully annotated for the nonspecialist, is a masterpiece in its own right, bringing to twentieth-century English all the exuberance and invention of the original sixteenth-century French. A final part containing all the rest of Rabelais' known writings, including his letters, supplements the five books traditionally known as Gargantua and Pantagruel. This great comic narrative, written in hugely popular installments over more than two decades, was unsparingly satirical of scholarly pomposity and the many abuses of religious, legal, and political power. The books were condemned at various times by the Sorbonne and narrowly escaped being banned. Behind Rabelais' obvious pleasure in lampooning effete erudition and the excesses of society is the humanist's genuine love of knowledge and belief in the basic goodness of human nature.The bawdy wit and uninhibited zest for life that characterize his unlikely trio of travelers have delighted readers and inspired other writers ever since the exploits of Gargantua and Pantagruel first appeared.
