Description: A stunning, controversial work that immediately outraged audiences with its scatological references during the 1896 premiere, the farce satirizes the tendency of the successful bourgeois to abuse his authority and become irresponsibly complacent. Championed as the first absurdist drama, Ubu Roi features a main character that is cruel, gluttonous, and grotesque.

Description: Alfred Jarry is regarded as one of the founders of modern avant-garde theatre— “Dada, Surrealism, Pataphysics, Theatre of Cruelty, the Absurd—all owe a debt to Jarry.” (Encore) This volume contains his three classic Ubu texts: Ubu Roi, Ubu Cocu and Ubu Enchaîné. Through the lucid translations of Connolly and Taylor, the reader comes to realize that the violent and loathsome Ubu is Jarry’s dark metaphor for man in the modern age. As Ubu himself said, “We shall not have succeeded in demolishing everything unless we demolish the ruins as well.”

Description: The landmark plays from the French theatre included in this edition embody the transition from the old to the modern in dramatic experimentation: precursors of surrealism, they are innovative, outrageous and highly enjoyable. Consisting of Maeterlinck's The Blind, Jarry's Ubu the King, and Apollinaire's The Mammaries of Tiresias, this edition provides new translations sensitive to crucial linguistic features such as rhyme and pun and contains the only editions of Maeterlinck and Apollinaire's plays in print. These three plays written between 1890 and 1917 surprised and shocked their first audiences and still continue to do so today.

Description: Alfred Jarry's work was a cannon shot fired at the French literary establishment at the end of the nineteenth century. His play "Ubu Roi" set off a riot, announcing the advent of surrealism, absurdist drama and the avant garde. Newly translated by Richard Henrich, Love Making Visits uses a framework of amorous trysts to paint a protagonist ripening from a cocksure fifteen year old, with a passion for experimentation, to a taster of many varieties of love, conventional and bizarre. Metamorphosing through symbolist and hallucinatory stages, he arrives transformed into the epically absurd figure of Ubu. He is at once comical, rapacious, and bombastic, an anti-hero and destroyer of convention. Beautifully written, expertly translated from the French, this novel is a wildly comical yet profoundly poetic journey, one that is at once despairing and ecstatic. It is presented here in English and in a newly edited French text.
