... soon off to continue reading Les Contes Drolatiques... The Droll Stories of Honore de Balzac (in German)... really Rabelaisely style :D

‘This is a book of the richest flavour, full of right hearty merriment, spiced to the palate of the illustrious and very precious tosspots and drinkers, to whom our worthy compatriot, François Rabelais, the eternal honour of Touraine, addressed himself’.
(From the prologue)

you can read it at gutenberg.org.
