Pantagruel with Explanatory Footnotes, Clz

François Rabelais, one of the writers who heralded the beginning of the Renaissance, left his mark on French and world literature with his five-volume work describing the adventures of Gargantua and Pantagruel, two giants, father and son. Although Pantagruel is the first volume of this collection, it is the continuation of Gargantua.

This novel, which can be considered a chivalric comedy, tells the adventures of a giant with an insatiable curiosity about the human experience, from his birth to his youth. Neither lawyers, academics nor the church can escape the sharp tongue of Rabelais, who draws a very thin line between wisdom and obscenity.

Pantagruel, one of the leading heroes of humanism along with Gargantua, introduces readers to a new world and in the process helps them look at their own lives with a different eye. After the father and the giant, the son's adventures are now available to Turkish readers for the first time with Birsel Uzma's competent translation and informative notes.
