Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sequel to Pantagruel: Being Books III, IV, and V of Rabelais Gargantua Reader, - I don´t know what kind of a preface I must write to find thee courteous, an epithet too often bestowed without a cause. The author of this work has been as sparing of what we call good nature, as most readers are nowadays. So I am afraid his translator and commentator is not to expect much more than has been showed them. What´s worse, there are but two sorts of taking prefaces, as there are but two kinds of prologues to plays; for Mr Bayes was doubtless in the right, when he said, that if thunder and lightning could not fright an audience into complaisance, the sight of the poet with a rope about his neck might work them into pity. Some, indeed, have bullied many of you into applause, and railed at your faults, that you might think them without any; and others, more safely, have spoken kindly of you, that you might think, or at least speak, as favourably of them, and be flattered into patience.
