"Index of the Project Gutenberg Works of Rabelais by François Rabelais" is a collection from the mind of François Rabelais, showcasing the humor and social commentary from the 1500s. The anthology houses the collection of five grand stories that follow the extraordinary lives of Gargantua and Pantagruel. From Gargantua's super-sized beginnings to Pantagruel's funny adventures with Panurge, the books use larger-than-life characters to inspect education, religion, and the whole of society. Through jokes and exaggeration, Rabelais encourages readers to consider what it means to be human and to value knowledge and morality, all while delivering stories packed with both laughs and deeper meaning about human nature.

About the AuthorFrançois Rabelais was a French writer who has been called the first great French prose author.
