"Most commendable and illustrious drinkers..." Thus starts Gargantua and Pantagruel, a grotesque and carnivalesque assortment of exuberant, fantastical reviews that will take us from the old world through to the Western european Renaissance. In the centre of these high tales will be the large Gargantua and his equally seismic kid, Pantagruel. Containing enchanting journeys, maniacal punning, slapstick humor, erudite allusions, and just about any bodily function you can think of, here's potentially the zaniest, most risqué booklet ever written. Featuring the original translation by Urquhart and Motteaux - celebrated because of its fluidity and playfulness. Bill Homewood gives a virtuosic and delightfully exuberant reading of the extraordinary wording - "a narrator so properly matched up to his material that you can't help but smile." [The Times (London)]
