«Gargantua» is the novel by François Rabelais, complete text for the bac, published by Hachette Education in paperback (336 pages, in French).
The work narrates the adventures of the giant Gargantua, a humanist figure: his body, strength and intelligence are excessive, and his mocking laughter challenges the old-school doctors and warrior lords. It defends freedom and an education that respects human nature, in a festive language that mixes poetry, prose and carnival.

Designed for French students in general and technological upper secondary school preparing for the bac, with written and oral exams.
François Rabelais was a French writer who has been called the first great French prose author. A humanist of the French Renaissance and Greek scholar, he attracted opposition from both Protestant theologian John Calvin and from the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. Though in his day he was best known as a physician, scholar, diplomat, and Catholic priest, later he became better known as a satirist for his depictions of the grotesque, and for his larger-than-life characters.
