French playwright Rabray has died.

Francois Labré, a Renaissance figure, was born in 1494 in the town of Chénon, in central France, and his father was a wealthy judge. He spent a free and happy childhood in his father’s mansion. After his teenage years, he was forced to receive a deadly and boring religious education, and in 1520 he entered the monastery as a monk.

Rabray was most widely praised for his long work, The Giant Translation, which was first published in 1532, and a second one a year later, with the signature rearranged after the disruption of the original name of sixteen letters: Argofrey Nazi. After the publication, the book was warmly welcomed by the urban bourgeoisie and the lower levels of society, but was also extremely hated by the church and the nobility, and was banned by the court to declare it a "book of prostitution".

Around 1535, Pope Francis I converted, turned to the reactionary Catholicism, publicly suppressed the progressive Protestantism, and defeated the Renaissance movement. In the second half of his life, his economic hardships, several times for the risk of hiding, and even imprisoned. One of his friends, who also suffered a severe punishment for re-releasing his banned works, showed the crowd. Despite the misfortune, but failed to wipe out his fighting spirit and defeat his courage, Rabbi still tirelessly continued to create the last three parts of The Giant Translation.

In 1545, under the protection of the king's license, Rabelley published the third edition of The Giant's Tale under his real name, but the king soon died, the novel was banned, the publisher was burned and Rabelley was forced to flee until 1550.

When he returned to his home country, Rabray held a religious position and spent his time healing the poor and then teaching in school. During his school teaching, he completed the fourth and fifth parts of The Giant Translation. The novel was written 20 years ago.

Within two months after the publication of The Giant, the volume of sales exceeded the total of the nine-year sales of the Bible.For more than a thousand years, it has been published in more than 200 versions in various languages!

The Giants reveal the darkness and rottenness of the medieval church, reflecting the pursuit of the Renaissance humanists for the liberation of the bourgeoisie’s personality. In the ideal society of Labrador, humanity is good, people are simple, and his ideal code of conduct is: “Do whatever you love to do.” When reading Labrador’s Giants, everyone can laugh, laugh, and laugh, which is why he is called the “great laugher.”
