Gargantua and Pantagruel

I love this book and the accompanying images so much.

From Wikipedia:

"The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel (in French, La vie de Gargantua et de Pantagruel) is a connected series of five novels written in the 16th century by François Rabelais. It is the story of two giants, a father (Gargantua) and his son (Pantagruel) and their adventures, written in an amusing, extravagant, satirical vein. There is much crudity and scatological humor as well as a large amount of violence. Long lists of vulgar insults fill several chapters."












Hamish Bowle's Lavish Spaces


I have recently discovered the unbelievably gorgeous apartments of the European editor of Vogue, Hamish Bowles. The man is lucky enough to have flats in both New York and Paris, as would be expected for the international editor of the world's most popular fashion magazine. Here for your viewing pleasure...
