Gargantua and Pantagruel, Book V

About this film

LibriVox recording of Gargantua and Pantagruel, Book V by François Rabelais. (Translated by Sir Thomas Urquhart; Peter Antony Motteux.) Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel (in French, La vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel) is a connected series of five novels written in the 16th century by François Rabelais. It is the story of two giants, a father (Gargantua) and his son (Pantagruel) and their adventures, written in an amusing, extravagant, satirical vein. There is much crudity and scatological humor as well as a large amount of violence. Long lists of vulgar insults fill several chapters. - Summary by Wikipedia For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
