Ubu Roi has divided audiences into passionate, dissenting camps since its 1896 premiere in Paris, an event that changed theater forever. With the first word of the play the audience erupted in pandemonium. People stormed the exits as fist fights broke out. Ubu was a scatological mockery that challenged assumptions about good taste and good behavior, a performance that questioned the very nature of theater and divided the audience between those who came expecting the ordinary and those who came hoping for the extraordinary. Now Ubu is seen as the precursor of the theatre of the absurd and playwrights like Eugene Ionesco, Samuel Beckett and Jean Genet. Rob Melrose's new translation brings out the Shakespearean echoes of Ubu while using words from classic American comedy to get the Punch and Judy feel.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49525462466833,"sku":"GOR001862403","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49637943968017,"sku":"GOR001851221","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49896184906001,"sku":"CIN041367990XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49896758280465,"sku":"CIN041367990XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50460410642705,"sku":"GOR001650565","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50575688237329,"sku":"GOR014003085","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52414446960913,"sku":"NLS9780413679901","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/041367990X.jpg?v=1751445804"},{"product_id":"ubu-roi-book-alfred-jarry-9780486426877","title":"Ubu Roi","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.

After 82 acts of intercourse, doctors finally hook him up to a machine, with whom he merges in the book's--and the Supermale's--final climax.

La pi ce d bute avec le personnage grotesque de P re Ubu, un homme avide de pouvoir et de richesse, qui, incit  par sa femme, M re Ubu, d cide de renverser le roi de Pologne pour s'emparer du tr ne. Ce coup d' tat, aussi absurde que violent, est le point de d part d'une satire acerbe du pouvoir et de la corruption.   travers un langage inventif et un humour noir, Jarry d peint un monde o  l'avidit  et la b tise humaine r gnent en ma tres. La pi ce se distingue par son style avant-gardiste et son rejet des conventions th  trales de l' poque, anticipant des mouvements tels que le surr alisme et le th  tre de l'absurde. Ubu Roi est une oeuvre qui, bien que controvers e lors de sa premi re repr sentation en 1896, a exerc  une influence durable sur le th  tre moderne et continue de fasciner par sa capacit    choquer et   provoquer la r flexion sur les d rives du pouvoir. __________________________________________ BIOGRAPHIE DE L'AUTEUR: Alfred Jarry, n  le 8 septembre 1873   Laval, est un  crivain et dramaturge fran ais reconnu pour son influence sur le th  tre moderne. D s son plus jeune  ge, Jarry montre un int r t marqu  pour la litt rature et les arts. Il poursuit ses  tudes   Rennes, puis   Paris, o  il se lie d'amiti  avec des figures litt raires de son temps. L'oeuvre la plus c l bre de Jarry, Ubu Roi, est cr  e en 1896 et fait scandale par son ton irr v rencieux et son langage inventif. Ce personnage d'Ubu,   la fois tyrannique et ridicule, devient embl matique de l'absurdit  du pouvoir. Outre le th  tre, Jarry s'illustre dans d'autres genres litt raires, publiant des essais, des romans et des po mes. Il est  galement connu pour son mode de vie excentrique et sa fascination pour la science-fiction et le cyclisme.

It begins with his two privately printed books, Black Minutes of Memorial Sand and Caesar Antichrist; followed by philosophical, practical and aesthetic essays, To be and To Live, Time in Art. It concludes with Jarry's own selection of journalism, texts which indulge in wild speculation and black humour (Andre Breton coined the latter term in order to describe them). This collection helps explain his importance to the appearance of the modern movement in French literature.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52100210589969,"sku":"CIN1900565250G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781900565257.jpg?v=1757088792"},{"product_id":"days-and-nights-book-alfred-jarry-9780947757199","title":"Days And Nights","description":"Translated by Alexis Lykiard, illustrated by Peter Blegvad Jarry's first, visionar, novel written when he was only 24.

Le roman commence par cette  tonnante phrase l ch e lapidairement par le personnage central, Andr  Marcueil en plein milieu d'un repas dans son ch teau de Lurance. Suit in luctablement une discussion sur l'amour o  chacun rivalise d'imagination pour c l brer un surm le, un homme capable de faire un nombre impressionnant de fois l'amour en un temps limit . Cette discussion devient enfin purement scientifique lorsqu'un m decin, le docteur Bathybius, fait remarquer que le corps humain n'est pas adapt    de telles prouesses et que par cons quent, ces histoires de performance ne sont que des fantasmes. Un autre personnage, Monsieur William Elson, chimiste de renom, fait alors intervenir l'une de ses inventions, la perpetual-motion food (que l'on peut traduire par nourriture du mouvement perp tuel ) qui, selon lui, permettrait la reg n ration des muscles pendant l'effort. Un homme ainsi nourri pourrait, sans effort particulier, devenir physiquement hyper-impressionnant et rivaliser avec le fantasmagorique. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52121924174097,"sku":"NLS9783988813275","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783988813275.jpg?v=1757435808"},{"product_id":"speculations-book-alfred-jarry-9783988813312","title":"Spéculations","description":"\u003cp\u003eIl s'agit ici d'un recueil d'une cinquantaine d'articles parus dans La Revue blanche de 1901   1903.
