FROM THE PUBLISHER - Jacques le Balleur was distracted from his writing by the shrunken head of his predecessor spiked on a rod before him. There was room on that rod for his head too, but just now the savages had given him a large tobacco leaf to write upon. They revered writing. Jacques was soon to learn what else they revered when, tied naked to a stake with a mask over his head, he met, instead of the expected instrument of brutal execution, a plethora of female hands caressing his body. Thus did the extraordinary reign of the French Calvinist Jacques le Balleur begin among the Tupinili cannibals of Brazil in 1560, as recorded in his Monthly Reports' on tobacco leaves. Addressing both his god and a future generation which would marvel at his good luck, Jacques outlines his role as a patriarch, Professor of both Theology and Language, and inheritor of an extensive harem. He owed it all to Rabelais. Having arrived in their midst with only ten pages left of his miniature four-volume complete works of the lascivious author, Jacques was astonished to discover that the Tupinilis mistook this remnant for the Bible they had been promised. He didn't disillusion them, rather accepted it as God's purpose to have preserved for him a document so closely aligned to the interests and customs of his captors. How this led to the formation of a Rabelaisian Parliament, the enactment of an orgiastic Passion Play, and a man's life and death struggle to become a cuckold is to be discovered in the remarkable pages of COD STREUTH. inventory #7599. Nº de ref. del artículo: z7599
