Description: Very good; Collectible. Rabelais, the ex-monk, was kicking-up trouble way back during the French Renaissance. This story takes place in a mythic land populated by giants and is peppered with interesting characters who were rather controversial during the time of Rabelais. Religious satire, bodily functions, unsavory obsessions, foul-mouths, lecherous behavior and other racy situations abound. Should be just as entertaining today as it was back in 1532. Wow. read more
