Alfred Jarry (1873–1907) is one of the few classics of French literature whose work remained unknown to the Russian reader until now. Hooligan, shocking well-bred gentlemen, Jarry's texts became a vivid example of counterculture at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, anticipating Dadaism, surrealism and the theater of the absurd. This book is Jarry's first publication in Russian. It includes all the main works of the writer, as well as a biographical sketch and detailed comments.
