Description
Francois Rabelais (1494-1553) was a major French Renaissance writer, doctor and Renaissance humanist and was a monk and Greek scholar. He has historically been regarded as a writer of fantasy, satire, the grotesque, and bawdy jokes and songs. Rabelais' use of his native tongue was astoundingly original, lively, and creative. He introduced dozens of Greek, Latin, and Italian loan-words and direct translations of Greek and Latin compound words and idioms into French. Rabelais is an author who enriched the French language. His works are also known for being filled with sexual double-entendre, dirty jokes and bawdy songs that can still surprise or even shock modern readers.
