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. Each new release includes display-quality covers, enlarged covers, and retro fonts.
