Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six unlikely heroes must save a magical realm from dark sorcery in this delightful fantasy from New York Times–bestselling author Alan Dean Foster. Wizard Susname Enyndd was the Gowdlands’ kingdom’s most powerful protector. Then the sinister Khaxan Mundurucu and a band of goblin-warlocks from the Totumakk Horde conjured up a curse that reduced the wizard to ash and leeched all the color from the land. But with Enyndd’s death came a spell that enchanted his six familiar pets—the terrier Oskar, the songbird Taj, the boa Samm, and the cats Cezer, Cocoa, and Mamakitty—transforming them into human beings capable of wielding magic. Now, the six companions must embark on a quest into a rainbow to find the one thing that can lift the evil curse: the White Light. As they travel through myriad colorful kingdoms while avoiding deadly enemies, each must learn how to control their magical powers—and try to get the hang of being human. But at the end of the rainbow, the heroes discover an unsettling truth about their quest—and about the magic that can bring about the end of everything . . . “[An] action-packed fantasy, one that might have come straight from the vaults of Disney.” —Publishers Weekly “Humor and wit enliven this quest-tale.” —Library Journal

Excerpt: ...ce que bon luy sembla; ensemble emporta les six pelerins, lesquelz avoient si grand peur, qu'ilz n'osoient ny parler ny tousser. Les lavant donc premierement en la fontaine, les pelerins disoient en voix basse l'un a l'autre: Qu'est il de faire? Nous noyons ici entre ces lectues. Parlerons nous? mais, si nous parlons, il nous tuera comme espies.1 Et, comme ilz deliberoient ainsi, Gargantua les mit avec ses lectues dedans un plat de la maison, grand comme la tonne de Cisteaux2; et, avec huile et vinaigre et sel, les mangeoit pour soy refraichir devant souper: et avoit ja engoulle cinq des pelerins; le sixiesme estait dedans le plat, cache sous une lectue, excepte son bourdon qui apparoissoit au dessus. Lequel voyant Grandgousier dist a Gargantua: Je croy que c'est la une corne de limasson, ne le mangez point. Pourquoy? dist Gargantua, ilz sont bons tout ce mois. Et, tirant le bourdon, ensemble enleva le pelerin et le mangeoit tres bien. Puis beut un horrible traict de vin pineau,3 et attendirent que l'on apprestat le souper. Les pelerins, ainsi devores, si tirerent hors les meulles de ses dents le mieulx que faire peurent, et pensoient qu'on les eust mis en quelque basse fousse des prisons. Et, lorsque Gargantua beut le grand traict, cuiderent noyer en sa bouche, et le torrent du vin presque les emporta au gouffre de son estomac: toutesfois, saultans avec leurs bourdons, comme font les micquelotz, se mirent en franchise l'oree des dents. Mais par malheur, l'un d'eux, tastant avec son bourdon le pays, a savoirs s'ilz estoient en seurete, frappa rudement en la faulte d'une dent creuse, et ferut6 le nerf de la mandibule: dont fit tres forte douleur a Gargantua, et commenca crier de...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ...a dire: comme tu as ung beau filz." The real etymology is unknown: in Spanish garganta = throat'; in O.F. garganton = glouton; cf. also Oxford Dict. under "Garget." Gargantua was the hero of legends known before Rabelais' time, but made popular by him. Charles Bourdigne, in the Legende de Pierre Faifeu (1526), speaks of "Gargantua qui a chepueulx de piastre." There are various places in France bearing Gargantua's name, but it is impossible to say whether they preceded or followed the renown of Rabelais' work. In the keys Gargantua becomes Francis I, or Henri d'Albret, king of Navarre. Cf. As You Like It, Act 1n, Sc. ii: "You must borrow me Gargantua's mouth first: 'tis a word too great for any mouth of this age's size." 2. 'AyaBy rixv-A formula of invocation, ' Good luck' (Latin, quod bene vortat or quodfelix faustumque sit). 3. Pere de Pantagruel. This expression is considered a proof that Gargantua was written after the first book of Pantagruel. Why call him Pantagruel's father, unless Pantagruel were already known? 4. Alcofribas. Alcofribas Nasier was the anagram of Francois Rabelais. Such anagrams were highly popular in the sixteenth century. Thus Pierre de Ronsard was called Rose de Pindare (not a perfect one); Nicolas Denisot became the Comte d'Alsinois. People much admired Loyse de Savoye = loy se desavoye, if we admit this as an anagram at all. 5. Quinte Essence. In old science supposee! to be a fifth and purest essence, neither earth, air, fire nor water. Hence, by extension, the purest and most perfect part of any physical body or intellectual doctrine. To give this latter is Rabelais' aim, leading the hearer to knowledge. In Book V, Chap. xxii, Queen Quinte Essence makes Pantagruel and bis...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The dazzling and exuberant comic 'Chronicles' of Rabelais (c. 1483-1552) are a feast of wisdom and laughter. Realism intertwines with carnivalesque fantasy, Renaissance learning with obscene humour to make readers look at the world afresh. Pantagruel, a tale of comic chivalry, satirizes lawyers, theologians and academic buffoons, while Gargantua mocks rash generals, idiotic monarchs and uncouth professors. It champions freedom and laughs at a dirty young giant before he turns into a splendid prince. Sequels lead into more complex and daring laughter and high mythology, often at the expense of Panurge - the mad, word-spinning companion of Pantagruel (who becomes a giant in wisdom, a Renaissance Socrates)." "M. A. Screech's translation captures Rabelais' ingenious wordplay and mastery of language. The introduction explores his individuality while comparing him to Shakespeare, and presents each book to open up the new horizons of Renaissance Europe. This edition also includes a chronology and notes."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Gargantua and Pantagruel written by Francois Rabelais and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-10-26 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dazzling and exuberant moral stories of Rabelais (c. 1471-1553) expose human follies with their mischievous and often obscene humour, while intertwining the realistic with carnivalesque fantasy to make us look afresh at the world. Gargantua depicts a young giant, reduced to laughable insanity by an education at the hands of paternal ignorance, old crones and syphilitic professors, who is rescued and turned into a cultured Christian knight. And in Pantagruel and its three sequels, Rabelais parodied tall tales of chivalry and satirized the law, theology and academia to portray the bookish son of Gargantua who becomes a Renaissance Socrates, divinely guided in his wisdom, and his idiotic, self-loving companion Panurge.
