«Caligula» is the play by Albert Camus, published by Gallimard in paperback (176 pages, in French).
The piece shows the Roman emperor Caligula turned into a tyrant after the death of his sister, determined to impose absolute power and to explore the limits of the possible. Camus conceived the character before the Second World War as an embodiment of the absurd, and the 1945 production was received as an allegory about Nazism.
The work was originally published in 1944. This French edition belongs to Folioplus classiques (no. 233) and includes the complete text, a dossier by Pierre-Louis Fort and an image reading by Bertrand Leclair.
Suitable for high school students, as it is an edition with didactic material for the study of theatre.
