A letter which a messenger brought to Pantagruel from a lady of Paris, together with the exposition of a posy written in a gold ring

<i>The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel</i> (in French, La vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel) is a connected series of five novels written in the 16th century by François Rabelais. It is the story of two giants, a father (Gargantua) and his son (Pantagruel) and their adventures, written in an amusing, extravagant, satirical vein. There is much crudity and scatological humor as well as a large amount of violence. Long lists of vulgar insults fill several chapters. (Summary by Wikipedia)
