Here is a grotesque and carnivalesque collection of exuberant, fantastical stories that takes us from the ancient world through to the European Renaissance. At the heart of these tall tales are the giant Gargantua and his equally seismic son, Pantagruel. Containing magical adventures, maniacal punning, slapstick humor, erudite allusions, and just about any bodily function one can think of, here is quite possibly the zaniest, most risqué book ever written.

De "Gargantua (La vie très horrifique du grand Gargantua, père de Pantagruel, fils de Grandgousier)", les Éditions Thélème ont surtout retenu la devise énoncée par les Thélémistes "Fay ce que voudras" ! L'utopique abbaye de Thélème, inventée par Rabelais, fut bâtie par le géant Gargantua pour son ami Frère Jean des Entommeures. Ce lieu avait pour vocation d'accueillir les jeunes gens bien nés, pour leurs études et leurs loisirs.

This “beautiful, brave book,” (Jenna Bush Hager, the Today show) is the story of Rebel Wilson’s remarkable personal transformation, from a painfully shy child in Australia who literally had to be dragged to drama classes and achieved break-out success in the US through iconic roles in Pitch Perfect, Bridesmaids, and Isn’t It Romantic.

Gargantua and Pantagruel by Francois Rabelais. Dramatised by Lavinia Murray. Episode 1: Gargantua. The bawdy, exuburant adventures of medieval giants. A dizzying blend of fantasy, comedy, philosophy and scatological humour. The world's a messy place.

Episode 2: - Pantagruel. Concluding the bawdy and scatological adventures of Medieval giants.

Pantagruel censuré, Rabelais récidive avec Gargantua, ogre démesuré et grand seigneur de Touraine dont les aventures paraissent encore suspectes aux théologiens. Monstre de paresse, abruti de religion durant son enfance, il échappe au pédantisme des vieux tousseux de la Sorbonne, dérobe au passage les cloches de Notre-Dame, se cultive enfin auprès de l'humaniste Ponocrates, son maître. Survient la fabuleuse " guerre picrocholine ", née d'une querelle entre vignerons et boulangers tourangeaux, où se distingue le merveilleux frère Jean des Entommeures.

Gargantua and Pantagruel, Book II continues the outrageous adventures of the giant Pantagruel as he navigates war, wisdom, and wild encounters. Packed with crude humor, philosophical debates, and over-the-top storytelling, this book is a wild ride through medieval literature.

XVIème siècle. Fils de Gargantua, Pantagruel est un géant qui, bébé, réduit son berceau en miettes, mange le jarret de sa nourrice et étrangle des ours à mains nues. Adolescent, il décide de parfaire son éducation en faisant le tour des universités de France. Sur la route, il se moque des étudiants pédants, visite des librairies riches en savoir, et rencontre Panurge, un polyglotte vivant des indulgences et des faux mariages. Burlesque philosophique, lutte contre l'obscurantisme, et aventures agités, « Pantagruel » est un classique à lire.

Kathleen Hanna’s band Bikini Kill embodied the punk scene of the 90s, and today her personal yet feminist lyrics on anthems like “Rebel Girl” and “Double Dare Ya” are more powerful than ever. But where did this transformative voice come from? In Rebel Girl, Hanna’s raw and insightful new memoir, she takes us from her tumul­tuous childhood to her formative college years and her first shows. As Hanna makes clear, being in a punk “girl band” in those years was not a simple or safe prospect.

Over 350 years before the British occultist Aleister Crowley was sitting quietly in a Cairo hotel room receiving the text of his Book of the Law, the famous French renaissance author Francois Rabelais was busy writing the second book of his legendary fantasy quintology Gargantua and Pantagruel, which included the story of the founding of the Abbey of Theleme, wherein but one clause was observed: "Do What Thou Wilt"!

Mention the Hell-Fire Clubs, and you conjure up an image of aristocratic rakes cutting a swath through the village maidens. Which is true, but not the whole truth. The activities of these clubs of upper-class Englishmen revolved around not only debauchery but also blasphemy, ritual, quasi-magical pursuits, and political intrigue. Providing a history of these infamous clubs, Geoffrey Ashe reveals their origins in the work of François Rabelais and the activities of John Dee.

That this had not been thought of before surprised, but did not daunt me. I said to myself: I shall limit the incident strictly to his three Giants; I shall hold these, from grandfather to grandson, well together; keep all that is sound in them; cut away the impurity which is not so much of as around them; chisel them out as a...

Der 1493 in der Touraine geborene François Rabelais ist nicht leicht einzuordnen: Er war Mönch, Arzt, humanistischer Gelehrter, unbeschwerter Lebenskünstler und Schriftsteller. Mit seinem Romanzyklus um die Riesen Gargantua, den Vater, und Pantagruel, den Sohn, hat Rabelais ein Werk geschaffen, das die Grenzen des Sag- und Schreibbaren auslotete: Es ist tiefsinnig und obszön, satirisch und sprachlich virtuos und dabei geprägt von einer zutiefst humanen Gesinnung. Der Schauspieler Helmut Krauss gibt Rabelais' Meisterwerk mit all seinen sprachlichen Finessen einzigartig wieder.
