Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

« Rire est le propre de l'homme », disait Rabelais et, pour nous faire rire, il invente Pantagruel, le fils de Gargantua. Gargantua était le héros d'un livret de colporteur publié avec succès à Lyon : Les Grandes et Inestimables Chroniques de l'énorme géant Gargantua. Pantagruel est, lui aussi, un géant, qui, par mégarde, comble une carie dentaire en avalant des soldats ! Il a pour ami Panurge, un fieffé voleur vivant de la vente des indulgences et du mariage des vieilles femmes.
Par cette farce énorme, Rabelais lutte avec humour contre un certain obscurantisme du Moyen Age. Manger du lard en Carême avait conduit Marot en prison. Rabelais, en humaniste, s'intéressait à tout : médecine, philosophie, éducation, géographie. Sa verve, sa truculence et sa fantaisie sont restées inégalées. Et il y a aujourd'hui dans le monde autant d'intolérants et d'ignorants qu'en son époque pour que son livre fasse toujours rire.
