«Le roman de Rabelais» is the fictionalised biography of François Rabelais by Michel Ragon, in hardback, published by France Loisirs / Albin Michel (219 pages).
It recounts the life of François Rabelais from a convent in the Vendée to the Vatican, including his work as a physician and as a writer persecuted by religious intolerance. Michel Ragon portrays a lucid, disillusioned man who used humour as a weapon against power, and whose voice still sounds astonishingly modern.
The work was published in 1994, in French, and appeared under the joint imprint of France Loisirs and Albin Michel.
For those interested in French literature, the Renaissance and portraits of figures who defied power with humour and intelligence.
