This massive tome of his work includes five books profusely illustrated by Doré with author prologues. First published in the 16th century, Gargantua and Pantagruel is a timeless, fantastic, and vulgar story of giants on an incredible adventure.

Fans of Doré's lighthearted work for books like Droll Stories, Don Quixote, and The Adventures of Baron Von Munchhausen will find themselves immersed in the artist's depictions of giants causing mischief on a gargantuan scale! Each new release includes display-quality covers, enlarged covers, and retro fonts.
