Gustave Doré ; Balzac
Les contes drolatiques colligez ez Abbayes de Touraine et mis en lumière par le sieur de Balzac pour l’esbattement des Pantagruelistes et non aultres
Paris, Garnier Frères, s.d. (c. 1865)
Fort in-8 de 21 x 14 cm ; xxviii-614-(1) pp.

Les Contes drolatiques témoignent de l’intérêt de Balzac pour la littérature de la Renaissance et en particulier pour l’œuvre de Rabelais. L’écrivain y pastiche le style et la pensée satiriques de son illustre modèle, dans une œuvre au ton à la fois joyeux et grivois.
