Brought up in a Franciscan convent, he was made a priest in 1520. During his monastic career he conceived a deep and lasting contempt for monkish life, and he obtained permission from the Pope to become a secular priest. He then studied medicine, and became a physician. After wandering about France for many years, he was appointed parish priest of Meudon in 1551, and he died at Paris in 1553. "The Great and Inestimable Chronicles of the Grand and Enormous Giant Gargantua" ("Les Grandes et Inestimables Chroniques du Grande et Enorme Géant Gargantua"), and its sequel, "Pantagruel," appeared between 1533 and 1564. Had these appeared during Rabelais' life, his career would probably have been shorter than it was, for the work is, with all its humour, a very bitter satire against both the Roman Church and the Calvinistic. Rabelais is one of the very great French writers and humourists whose work is closely connected with English literature. But what he borrowed from Sir Thomas More, he generously repaid to Shakespeare, Swift, and Sterne. The famous Abbey of Thelema is inspired by More's "Utopia"; on the other hand, Shakespeare's praise of debt is taken from the speech of Panurge--the most humorous character in French literature, and worthy to stand beside Falstaff.

Book excerpt: Pantagruel est un livre mythique de la littérature française, que l'on pense bien connaître. Pourtant le roman qu'on lit depuis plusieurs siècles diffère notablement du Pantagruel original que Rabelais publia en 1532. Sous la pression des pouvoirs, Rabelais se vit contraint d'y apporter nombre de modifications, et on n'a pas pu véritablement lire, depuis 1532, le flux qui sortit, incandescent, de sa plume. Le Pantagruel de 1532, garde, encore aujourd'hui, sa violence verbale et la nouveauté radicale de son interprétation du monde.

This engaging summary presents an analysis of Gargantua by François Rabelais, the follow-up to the popular novel Pantagruel. In this satirical tale, Rabelais tells the story of Gargantua, the father of the giant we meet in the first book, and describes the trials and tests he faces along his path to education. Gargantua was published in 1534 but met with considerable controversy, as a result of its bawdy language and numerous possible interpretations. Rabelais himself was no stranger to public outrage, being widely known as a drunkard with a talent for stirring up strong reactions. He is best-known for his pentalogy of novels about the adventures of two giants, Pantagruel and Gargantua, and is considered to be one of the most significant writers in Western literature.
