Comical Dreams of Pantagruel
The Comical Dreams of Pantagruel are a series of 120 engravings published by Richard Breton in 1565, attributed to Fran ois Rabelais, who had died twelve years earlier. Since the first edition, others have followed, some with comments linking the figures of the Dreams to the characters of the five books of Fran ois Rabelais, or to some of his contemporaries. Here are presented the engravings of the Tross edition, accompanied by the comments of the Grand Jacques edition, which reveal to the reader many subtle details of the figures. Each of the figures joyfully brings back to our mind the episodes of the very horrific Life of the great Gargantua, and the incredible deeds and prowess of Pantagruel, King of the Dispodes.
