Historical Background

In the five volume literary work, Gargantua and Pantagruel by François Rabelais, published from 1532 to 1552, Gargantua was a giant who ate a group of pilgrims. He was the father of Pantagruel. The book was a satire. Gargantuan is also an adjective meaning of immense size, gigantic.
