Description

1823 BEAUTIFUL SET Works of Francois Rabelais Illustrated Gargantua Pantagruel

â€œSeeing how sorrow eats you, defeats you.

Id rather write about laughing than crying,

For laughter makes men human, and courageous.”

â€• FranÃ§ois Rabelais, Gargantua and Pantagruel

FranÃ§ois Rabelais was an early 16th-century French writer. He is often considered one of the earliest fantasy writers and, because of his monumental work Gargantua and Pantagruel, he helped establish the modern European literary style. According to Merriam-Webster, the world rabelaisian has been coined as something that is "marked by gross robust humor, extravagance of caricature, or bold naturalism." (MW, Rabelaisian).

These first six volumes are from the incredibly valuable 1823 Dalibon edition which include his famous â€œGargantua and Pantagruel”. These tomes are truly some of the most beautiful green-leather tomes to be displayed on any shelf!
