Gargantua (1534) was related to Francois Rabelais’ (1493­1553) first
great work, Pantagruel (1532). Two years later, Rabelais released The
Very Frightful Life of the Grand Gargantua , a story of Pantagruel’s
father. Both books, printed under the pseudonym of Alcofribas Nasier,
employ satirical humour and political insight. Although condemned by
French intellectuals at the Sorbonne, they were great popular
successes.
