An epic collection featuring Gargantua and Pantagruel from Fran???ois Rabelais illustrated by Gustave Dor???. Famed French artist Gustave Dor??? provided 50 outrageous drawings for this deluxe, rare 1880 printing of The Works of Rabelais. Long out of print and hard to find, this restored special edition features: -Enlarged 7" x 10" pages -Fifty restored Gustave Dor??? illustrations, many full-page -Publisher's original formatting -Classic weathered type font -Bold retro-styled cover design The imaginative French writer, Fran???ois Rabelais, is known for his outlandish tales, satire, and comic genius. This massive tome of his work includes five books profusely illustrated by Dor??? with author prologues. First published in the 16th century, Gargantua and Pantagruel is a timeless, fantastic, and vulgar story of giants on an incredible adventure. Though Rabelais' writing is vivid on its own, the charismatic and comical artwork of renowned artist Gustave Dor??? (Dante's Inferno, Milton's Paradise Lost) enhances the thrilling tale with timeless drawings for young and old alike. Fans of Dor???'s lighthearted work for books like Droll Stories, Don Quixote, and The Adventures of Baron Von Munchhausen will find themselves immersed in the artist's depictions of giants causing mischief on a gargantuan scale! Table of Contents: Book I - Of the Genealogy and Antiquity of Gargantua Book II - Of the Originality and Antiquity of the Great Pantagruel Book III - How Pantagruel Transported a Colony of Utopians into Dipsodie Book IV - How Pantagruel went to Sea to Visit the Oracle Bacbuc, Alias the Holy Bottle Book V - How Pantagruel Arrived at the Ringing Island and of the Noise that We Heard About the Publisher: The CGR Publishing Restoration Workshop uses a vast array of computers and digital scanners to restore, preserve, and enhance the classic works of writers and artists from the 19th century.
