The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel (in French, La vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel) is a connected series of five novels written in the 16th century by François Rabelais. It is the story of two giants, a father (Gargantua) and his son (Pantagruel) and their adventures, written in an amusing, extravagant, satirical vein. There is much crudity and scatological humor as well as a large amount of violence. Long lists of vulgar insults fill several chapters.

Love this. Can’t wait for books 3-5. Master Martin Geeson was born to narrate Rabelais

Read this 1952 in English with copious footnotes by the translator. I got more than a few laughs This was a bestseller in medieval France at least among the nobility. A sample: either the father or the son created the Seine River that flows through Paris by pissing on France. One of the two invents 100 or so ways to wipe his backside in the days before toilet paper. You will see that the French nobility were not as refined as the movies show them to be. Ditto Americans, as you might discover from Benjamin Franklin's book, Fart Proudly.
