From his portentous birth and colorful childhood, to his visit to Paris and his travels through Utopia, and not withstanding his enormous appetite, Pantagruel’s history is told with a breathtaking degree of gaiety and wit. Ingeniously coining new expressions, and with an unashamed obsession with bodily functions, Rabelais blends prose and poetry, the sacred and profound, to offer a heady satire of the religious society of his day. The result is a bawdy and brilliant celebration of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Livre De Poche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034673332464,"sku":"9782253023494","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782253023494_p0.jpg?v=1763682781","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782253023494","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
