Thomas Urquhart

    Sir Thomas Urquhart byl skotský spisovatel a překladatel, jehož dílo je charakteristické svou bohatou a složitou prózou. Proslavil se zejména svým překladem francouzského renesančního díla, do kterého vnesl svůj osobitý styl a jazykový experimentátorství. Jeho vlastní spisy se zabývaly rozmanitými tématy, včetně genealogie a obrany Skotska, často se vyznačovaly encyklopedickou šíří a neobvyklými pohledy na svět. Jeho literární odkaz spočívá v jedinečném spojení intelektuální hloubky a stylistické virtuozity, které dodnes fascinuje čtenáře.

    • A satirical and ribald masterpiece of Renaissance literature, Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel has captured imaginations for centuries. This translation by Sir Thomas Urquhart and Peter Le Motteux brings the bawdy and irreverent humor to life in vivid detail. With over-the-top characters and outrageous situations, this book is a delight for anyone with a taste for the zany and the absurd.
