«Tout Ubu» is the theatre collection by Alfred Jarry, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (536 pages, in French).
The volume brings together the Ubu cycle: Ubu Roi, Ubu Cocu, Ubu Enchaîné, les Almanachs du Père Ubu and Ubu sur la butte. In these plays, Jarry turns his character into a grotesque mirror of human imbecility and tyranny: a gluttonous, lustful and brutal being whose black humour remains disconcerting.
Edition prepared by Maurice Saillet and Charles Grivel in the Classiques de Poche collection.
For readers of classic French theatre and political satire who want to approach the original text in French.
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.
