	Gargantua and Pantagruel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is the story of two giants, a father (Gargantua) and his son (Pantagruel) and their adventures, written in an amusing, extravagant, satirical vein.
		Pantagruel, which became the second volume of the series, was published first, around 1532, then Rabelais wrote of Pantagruel's birth and upbringing in Gargantua.
		This volume included one of the most notable parables in Western Philosophy: that of the Abbey of Thélème, which can either be considered a point-for-point critique of the educational practises of the age, or a call to free schooling, or all sorts of notions on human nature, Christianized or not.

	Pantagruel Restaurant
		The Pantagruel, a famous Kiev restaurant of Italian cuisine, is time-proved and, like an old wine with the years, it is just getting better, offering its guests the best of the rich Italian culture.
		The restaurant was named Pantagruel to honor the main character of famous "Gargantua and Pantagruel" by outstanding Italian writer Francois Rabelais.
		The restaurant is renowned for its first-class Italian cuisine, which is of exceptional quality as the chef of the Pantagruel, virtuoso Costantino Passalacqua, is Italian.

		Pantagruel, having writ his letters, sat down at table with him, and afterwards presented him with a large chain of gold, weighing eight hundred crowns, between whose septenary links some large diamonds, rubies, emeralds, turquoise stones, and unions were alternately set in.
		Pantagruel was told that young buskin took old boot to have and to hold because she was of special leather, in good case, and waxed, seared, liquored, and greased to the purpose, even though it had been for the fisherman that went to bed with his boots on.

		Pantagruel was not a little taken up with admiring the structure and habitation of the people of the place.
		Pantagruel would have said something to him, but the other, not being able to come up to his height, wished for a ladder or a very long pair of stilts; then said, Patience, if it were our sovereign lady's will, we would be as tall as you; well, we shall when she pleases.

		Whilst Pantagruel was giving order for the government of all Dipsody, he assigned to Panurge the lairdship of Salmigondin, which was yearly worth 6,789,106,789 reals of certain rent, besides the uncertain revenue of the locusts and periwinkles, amounting, one year with another, to the value of 435,768, or 2,435,769 French crowns of Berry.
		Pantagruel, being advertised of this his lavishness, was in good sooth no way offended at the matter, angry nor sorry; for I once told you, and again tell it you, that he was the best, little, great goodman that ever girded a sword to his side.

		A hymn to the physical joys of life and the bodily functions associated with them, Pantagruel is also a feast of language and a kaleidoscope of narrative forms.
		From his mythical lineage and portentous birth, it is clear that Pantagruel is destined to be a very special giant.
		Yet despite the hyperbolic and disproportionate nature of anything connected to him, Pantagruel’s history is told with breathtaking gaiety and wit.

		It is Pantagruel who does the seeing at the beginning of chapter 9, when Panurge is introduced for the first time.
		We learn that Pantagruel has the advantage, having "tousjours bon pied et bon oeil" (362) ["always a good foot and a good eye".] And at each step, it is what Pantagruel sees which makes the battle advance.
		In Pantagruel's mouth--a place we don't usually see-- Alcofribas discovers that there is more to see and to know than he had ever expected.

		Chapter 52 of Book III relates the amazing fable concerning “how a certain kind of Pantagruel ion is of that nature that the fire is not able to consume it.” First, it is noteworthy that Rabelais suggests different varieties of the plant.
		In light of Price’s comments concerning the Pantagruel ion that is not consumed by fire, it is interesting to note that Rabelais was familiar with the writings of Zoroaster, and he translated into French the Greek works of Herodotus, who wrote about Scythians inhaling cannabis smoke to achieve ecstasy.
