EDITORS COMMENTS
The astrologer Herr Trippa, depicted in this engraving by Gustave Doré, transports us into the whimsical world of FranAzois Rabelais' masterpiece, Gargantua and Pantagruel. With his half-length figure seated in a slumped position, Herr Trippa exudes an air of wisdom and weariness that only comes with age. As we gaze upon this intriguing illustration, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details surrounding the astrologer. A spider's web delicately weaves its way across the room, symbolizing both the interconnectedness of fate and the fragility of human existence. In one hand, Herr Trippa holds a telescope, suggesting his deep connection to celestial bodies and his ability to decipher their secrets. Rabelais' character comes alive through Doré's masterful artistry as he captures not just physical features but also emotions and personality traits. The lines etched on Herr Trippa's face tell tales of countless nights spent studying stars and planets while contemplating life's mysteries. This print from Bibliotheque Nationale allows us to immerse ourselves in Rabelais' fantastical universe where giants roam freely. It serves as a reminder that literature has the power to transport us beyond our own reality into realms filled with imagination and wonder. Whether you are familiar with Rabelais' work or encountering it for the first time, this enchanting image invites you to delve deeper into Gargantua
