FRANCIS RABELAIS: The Man and His Work. By Albert Jay Nock and C. R. Wilson. Publishers. Harper and Brothers. New York. Ajr outstanding contribution to Rabelaisian lore and legend is this biography by Messrs. Nock and Wilson. These authors have exhibited thorough and painstaking industry in placing before the reader a wealth of Information regarding Rabelais the man. Their work conveys a finer, fuller understanding of the Inimitable satire, wit and philosophy of the vivid characters he created. " One who reads this volume will lay It down firmly convinced that Rabelais was the supreme r. The authors remind us that - Rabelais wrote in the sixteenth century for and of the people of the period, not of kings, princes, prelates and potentates but of the millions of "Just their daily thoughts, activities, doings and sayings largely comprise the real picture of the life vi me period. Tnus, in making these people speak and act. he has created diverse characters possessed of opposite and contrasting mental, physical and social attributes. Nowhere is his artistry, superb skill and mighty genius so masterfully apparent as when these characters step forth au natural to speak and act. He keeps them In character, each using the common vocabulary of his class. Scant Data Available On 16th Century's Great The century that produced Rabelais also gave us Cervantes and Shakespeare, yet the data concerning either is very meagre. To quote the biographers: "An authentic biography of Cervantes, based on our present knowledge, might amount to four pages; of Rabelais, perhaps two; of Shakespeare. on" In view of this, it is altogether amazing that the industrious authors have been able to compile so much Information seemingly well authenticated) concerning Rabelais.' He was peasant, priest, physician, philosopher and scholar. In each of these fields he harvested abundantly. Obviously, he was a humanist, a man of the world, a diplomat, a stylist, but transcending ail these, he was a r. Like many , another genius. Rabelais was destined to be immortalized not on account of his many scientific and other serious undertakings, but for his literary work. Rabelais' Fame' Rests On His Stories Solely. Rabelais wrote stories for neither fame nor gain but for the love of serious works writing. His contributed nothing toward his glory. lecturer on or As a writer, teacher medical subjects, he goes unremem-bereas a practical physician, he is forgotten: his diplomatic services are submerged in oblivion. But as a storyteller the brilliancy of his genius re-- ; mainc fnrvpr undimmed. The biographers have produced a book which, when read by those with Rabelais, will iiu them ti renew a delightful ac reader qualntance. To the uninitiated this book assures them of a genuine felicity in forming the acquaintance of Gargantua, Pantagruel, Panurge end other of the Immortal brain cnu dren of the great Rabelais. s" and The Magic Mount in." the two serious works which led to his award of the Nobel prize, then added a humorous touch to his description of his life by saying, "I have the best kind of rolls with my morn- ing tea, and I nearly always wear patent leather shoes." Mann announced also that he has been working for two years On his new book. This is a long two volume work entitled "Joseph and His Brethren." which will be published in America by Alfred A. Knopf. The book is an exhaustive study of certain subjects from the - mythological point of view" Mann said. European critics who know something of the nature of "Joseph and His Brethren" declare this new work will create a greater sensation than "The Magic Mountain." but the celebrated Nobel prize winner refused to discuss the bock at greater length. story-telle- folks-Actu- 1 i "religious-psychologic- ally, sequel Fowler Wright, "Dawn" provides to the disaster which he manufactured MJ'Tbc Deluge;'.
