François Rabelais (1483–1553) added to the European Renaissance the grandeur of natural and spiritual life, guided by two giants: Father Gargantua and Son Pantagruel, accompanied by friends and companions, whose human dimensions serve as models of ethics, education, peace, and friendship.
A group traversing the barren and lifeless lands of scholasticism, religious and political deceit, fights against the absurdity of power, erecting the "Abbey of Thélème," where men and women live according to their "will."
As for style and language, precision is intertwined with vulgarity and mockery, creating the unique "rabelaisian" norm.
The Almanac titled Pantagrueline Prophecies for the year 1533 is translated into Greek for the first time. The reader can consult it, raising his glass in honor of Rabelais's spirit.
