😵1982 1st Printing Franklin Library Gargubtua and Pantagruel leather Rabelaus

Leatherbound The Franklin Library 1st Edition 1st written in 1534 Francois Rabelais Stunning book with hibbed boards illustrated gilded pages decorated end pages. I own the entire Franklin Library publications. Many listed here at a fraction of value. Protagonists, Gargantua and his son, Pantagruel, are appropriately giants, not only in size, but also in spirit and action. The five books of their adventures are separate works, containing, in different measure, adventures, discussions, farcical scenes, jokes, games, satires, philosophical commentaries, and anything else that a worldly, learned man of genius such as Rabelais could pour into his work. His style is innovative and idiosyncratic, marked by extreme humor. ● pls research sold elsewhere
