«Ubu» is the play by Alfred Jarry, published by Bookking International in paperback (95 pages, in French).
It is a theatrical work considered a precursor to the theater of the absurd; its premiere in 1896 caused riots among the audience and, since then, it has been recognized as a key piece for understanding the Dada and Surrealist movements and much of 20th-century experimental theater.
First title in Alfred Jarry's «Ubu» series and part of the Classiques Francais collection.
For readers interested in 19th-century French literature and the origins of avant-garde theater and the absurd.
Alfred Jarry was a French symbolist writer who is best known for his play Ubu Roi (1896), often cited as a forerunner of the Dada, Surrealist, and Futurist movements of the 1920s and 1930s and later the theatre of the absurd in the 1950s and 1960s. He also coined the term and philosophical concept of 'pataphysics.
