Gargantua and Pantagruel - Book 2
François Rabelais
Book Overview:
The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel (in French, La vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel) is a connected series of five novels written in the 16th century by François Rabelais. It is the story of two giants, a father (Gargantua) and his son (Pantagruel) and their adventures, written in an amusing, extravagant, satirical vein. There is much crudity and scatological humor as well as a large amount of violence. Long lists of vulgar insults fill several chapters. (Summary by Wikipedia)

Интересна книга, написана по странен начин, която ни учи на много неща. Радвам се, че я прочетох, въпреки че е трудна за четене. Но тъй като е забавна и поучителна, чете се лесно и приятно.
