Gargantua and Pantagruel – The Squashed Edition

The Squashed edition of Gargantua and Pantagruel by Francois Rabelais. Abridged from the original text to read in an hour or so.

Squashed editions are precise abridgements – the original ideas, in their own words, the full beam of the book, the quotable quotes and all the famous lines, but neatly honed down to the length of a readable short story.

“Like reading the bible without all the begats” – Prof. Jim Curtis
