Sinopsis

The dazzling and exuberant moral stories of Rabelais (c. 1471-1553) expose human follies with their mischievous and often obscene humour, while intertwining the realistic with carnivalesque fantasy to make us look afresh at the world. Gargantua depicts a young giant, reduced to laughable insanity by an education at the hands of paternal ignorance, old crones and syphilitic professors, who is rescued and turned into a cultured Christian knight. And in Pantagruel and its three sequels, Rabelais parodied tall tales of chivalry and satirized the law, theology and academia to portray the bookish son of Gargantua who becomes a Renaissance Socrates, divinely guided in his wisdom, and his idiotic, self-loving companion Panurge.

  • Pantagruel
    Rabelais, Francois
    Muchos autores han considerado " enigmático " a Rabelais y han destacado el carácter desconcertante de su obra o su extraordinaria dificultad. Rabelais es difícil y enigmático porque representa un mundo muy diferente del nuestro. Su obra está plagada de alusiones, a veces serias, casi siempre jocosas, a una cultura muy alejada de nosotros. Carecemos de la profunda f...

    Rabelais, François
    El siglo XVI es una época en movimiento incesante, un mundo en transición del que Rabelais (1494-1553) no será testigo mudo ni pasivo. Todo lo contrario: es preciso inscribir su obra –gigantesca– como una de las más importantes y ambiciosas en esa trama de iniciativas dispares en las que la política, la religión, la ciencia, el arte, la técnica, el derecho, la literatura... se ...

    El " Quinto y último libro de Pantagruel " es una obra publicada años después de la muerte de Rabelais. Por tanto, la cuestión de la autenticidad de la autoría es el problema más debatido de su obra. Los alegatos a favor o en contra de su autenticidad se han sucedido y multiplicado a lo largo de los siglos. Podría concluirse que el " Quinto libro " estar...
