Produktbeschreibung

This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Autorenporträt

François Rabelais was born between 1483 and 1494 in Chinon, France, and became a key figure of the French Renaissance. Originally a monk, he later pursued medicine at the University of Montpellier. His deep interest in humanism and classical texts shaped his literary and scholarly pursuits.In 1532, he published Pantagruel under the pseudonym Alcofribas Nasier, launching his famous satirical series. His works, including Gargantua, blended humor with bold critiques of education, religion, and society. Despite facing censorship, he continued to write, leaving a lasting literary impact.Alongside his writing, Rabelais practiced medicine and traveled extensively, even visiting Rome multiple times. He maintained influential connections that helped shield him from controversy. Passing away in 1553, he left behind a legacy of wit, intellect, and literary innovation.
