Francois Rabelais (1493­1553) was a popular French satirist. His witty
writings emphasized individual liberty while focusing on the political and
philosophical thinking of his time. One of his greatest fans was Francis I,
who granted Rabelais license to publish his books. However, when
Francis died, a backlash against liberty of thought caused Rabelais to
flee to Rome. Two of his well-known works are Pantagruel (1532) and
Gargantua (1534).
