Description
Can we be serious and funny at the same time? What "substantive marrow" is hidden under the fantasy of appearances? Published in 1534, Gargantua, which narrates the "very horrific" life of a giant born by his mother's ear and inventor of the torchecul, is immediately banned. But, beyond the satire, the story is colored with humanism: what teaching methods should be adopted to train the skilful man? What should be the virtues of the Christian prince, especially in times of war? Drawn from good sources, knowledge is a gluttony, while warlike appetites, rendered vile and grotesque, are swept away by a utopian end. If laughter is still "man's own", the language of the sixteenth century is no longer familiar to us. This edition accompanies Rabelais' text with a translation into modern French, so that any reader can immerse himself in it with the agility of Gargantua when he "swam in deep water, in the place, upside down, sideways, of the whole body, with only feet, a hand in the air holding a book." Folder: 1. Utopias and perfections of humanistic education 2. Humanist ideals about war and peace Journey: Laughter, a mirror of knowledge.
