- Join the erudite historian, Will Durant, on an intellectual voyage through the life and works of François Rabelais, a literary luminary of the Renaissance era. In this thought-provoking video, Durant unravels the complex and often humorous world of Rabelaisian satire, shedding light on the profound impact of this 16th-century French writer.
We need a new group of Rabelaisian readers to emerge! Amongst my friends of philosophy, art, and literature, not enough seem to have spent time in the writings of Rabelais.
I love Durant + Grover Gardner's voice (as the reader). Thank you!
this narrator is one of my all-time favorites. can listen to anything he reads.

Thank you Rocky C!
More than Petrarch, Dante or even Shakespeare, Rabelais is the quintessential Renaissance man. He embodies the spirit of getting drunk on knowledge and learning. He popularized the idea of constantly growing and experiencing life in the most pleasurable way imaginable. "Do what thou wilst" he said and sent the reader out to follow his passions. His writing contain everything I love about life
Mix Aristophanes, Cervantes and Swift and you get a dollop of Rabelais.
This is really Rabelaisian.
Akin to Rabelais I propose I am now setting myself to work in conjunction with my partner The Divine Bottle.
