Who is Rabelais from The Creators and what is their importance?

Rabelais wrote five volumes about "Pantagruel", luxuriating in vulgarity. According to the author of this book, "when we read Rabelais in translation, we are grasping for his wit through a veil. Rabelais's book was an act of faith in a language he was beginning to make literary" (p. 294).
