La très excellente et divertissante histoire de François Rabelais (2011)
Sensual, facetious, satirical and mocking, François Rabelais born at the end of the 15th century, alone embodies the Middle Ages, this fertile era from which the modern world emerged, and the spirit of research, of intellectual fever of the Renaissance, its enthusiasms and its aspirations.
