A PHOENIX'S NEW START (first break egg) AND TAKE ON LIFE AFTER TAKE OFF. It is a time when one’s spirit is subdued and sad, one knows not why; when the past seems a storm-swept desolation, life a vanity and a burden, and the future but a way to death. -Mark Twain

"Pantagruel" 1533: The story of Pantagruel, the giant, son of Gargentua, their feats, their wars and adventures. The framework of a mock-heroic chivalrous romance, he laughed at many types of sophistry including the legal obsurantism and hermeticism, which he nevertheless preferred to the scholasticism of the Sorbonne. In one chapter, he praises the divine gift of fertile matrimony as compensation for death caused by Adam's fall.
