1894 The Works of Rabelais & Gustave Dore Antique French Literature Book

The Works of Rabelais - Faithfully Translated From The French
Numerous Illustrations by Gustave Dore
Printed At The Moray Press: Derby 1894

" This impressive 1894 Moray Press edition presents the complete works of François Rabelais, the French Renaissance satirist best known for Gargantua and Pantagruel. Faithfully translated from the original French and accompanied by scholarly notes, the text preserves the author's wit, linguistic playfulness, and biting social commentary. Rabelais's exuberant storytelling captures the humanist spirit of the 16th century, blending bawdy humor with philosophical reflection on religion, education, and human folly.

Lavishly illustrated with numerous engravings by the celebrated artist Gustave Doré, this edition features his masterful depictions of Rabelais's giants, grotesques, and fantastical scenes. Bound in original cloth with printed spine label, it remains an important collectible example of late Victorian printing and illustration. A desirable volume for admirers of French Renaissance literature, collectors of Doré's illustrated works, and enthusiasts of classic satire and early humanist thought."
