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

Download or read book Gargantua and Pantagruel written by François Rabelais and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 807 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rabelais's hilarious, scabrous and often scatological fantasy of life amonth the monks and friars of sixteenth-century France remains a satirical and comic classic. A great broth of a book in which every conceivable literary form is parodied and every human desire satirized. But under the comedy there is a serious purpose, for Rabelais also enspouses a positive view of life in which tolerance, goodness, understanding and wisdom are opposed to dogmatism, pride and cruelty. The book is here presented in the classic translation by Urquhart and Motteux.

This book was released on with total page 939 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Had Rabelais never written his strange and marvellous romance, no one would ever have imagined the possibility of its production. It stands outside other things—a mixture of mad mirth and gravity, of folly and reason, of childishness and grandeur, of the commonplace and the out-of-the-way, of popular verve and polished humanism, of mother-wit and learning, of baseness and nobility, of personalities and broad generalization, of the comic and the serious, of the impossible and the familiar. Throughout the whole there is such a force of life and thought, such a power of good sense, a kind of assurance so authoritative, that he takes rank with the greatest; and his peers are not many. You may like him or not, may attack him or sing his praises, but you cannot ignore him. He is of those that die hard. Be as fastidious as you will; make up your mind to recognize only those who are, without any manner of doubt, beyond and above all others; however few the names you keep, Rabelais’ will always remain. We may know his work, may know it well, and admire it more every time we read it. After being amused by it, after having enjoyed it, we may return again to study it and to enter more fully into its meaning. Yet there is no possibility of knowing his own life in the same fashion. In spite of all the efforts, often successful, that have been made to throw light on it, to bring forward a fresh document, or some obscure mention in a forgotten book, to add some little fact, to fix a date more precisely, it remains nevertheless full of uncertainty and of gaps. Besides, it has been burdened and sullied by all kinds of wearisome stories and foolish anecdotes, so that really there is more to weed out than to add.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel (French: La vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel) is a pentalogy of novels written in the 16th century by François Rabelais, telling the adventures of two giants, Gargantua (and his son Pantagruel). The work is written in an amusing, extravagant, and satirical vein; features much erudition, vulgarity, and wordplay; and is regularly compared with the works of Shakespeare and James Joyce. Rabelais was a polyglot, and the work introduced "a great number of new and difficult words into the French language". The work was stigmatised as obscene by the censors of the Collège de la Sorbonne, and, within a social climate of increasing religious oppression in a lead up to the French Wars of Religion.

Download or read book Enter Rabelais, Laughing written by Barbara C. Bowen and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francois Rabelais (1483?-1553) is a difficult and often misunderstood author, whose reputation for coarse "Rabelaisian" jesting and "Gargantuan" indulgence in food, drink, and sex is highly misleading. He was in fact a committed humanist who expressed strong views on religion, good government, education, and much more through the mock-heroic adventures of his giants. While most books about Rabelais have relatively little to say about his comedic genius, Enter Rabelais, Laughing analyses the many sides of Rabelais's humor, focusing on why his writing was so hilariously funny to sixteenth-century readers. The author begins by discussing how the Renaissance defined laughter and situates Rabelais in a long tradition of literary laughter. Subsequent chapters examine specific contexts relevant to Gargantua and Pantagruel, beginning with the comic aspects of epic, chronicle, mock-epic, and farce, and proceeding to Renaissance and Reformation humanist satire, rhetoric, medicine, and law. All of these chapters combine information, much of it new, on the humanist message Rabelais wanted to convey to his readers, with an analysis of how he used his wit to reinforce his message. Rarely is a writer's work treated in such illuminating detail. On a broad level, Enter Rabelais, Laughing serves as an excellent introduction to French Renaissance literature and exhibits a remarkably charming and lucid writing style, free of jargon. To Rabelais scholars in particular it offers a thorough and innovative analysis that corrects misconceptions and questions commonly held views.
