"[Raffel] has provided us with a classic work, restored to its original complexity, humor, and gusto."

- Library Journal,

"Raffel has done the impossible. . . . [He] has produced a text which is amazingly true to the meaning and the linguistic gusto of the original."

- Alain Renoir,

"Grand to see this new rendition of a work full of what life is all about and translated with an equal authenticity."

- J. P. Donleavy,

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.
Les mer
Biting and bawdy, smart and smutty, lofty and low, Gargantua and Pantagruel is fantasy on the grandest of scales, told with an unquenchable thirst for all of human experience.
"[Raffel] has provided us with a classic work, restored to its original complexity, humor, and gusto."
