Gargantua and Pantagruel is a satirical series of novels written by François Rabelais in the 16th century. The work follows the adventures of two giants, Gargantua and his son Pantagruel, through a series of exaggerated and humorous episodes. The novels are filled with playful language, absurd humor, and a sharp critique of contemporary society, particularly targeting the corruption of the church, the failings of education, and the hypocrisy of authority figures.
