Edición y traducción de Juan Antonio Tello El 5 de octubre de 1894 se presenta Los Minutos de arena memorial en las ediciones del Mercure de France, la primera obra de Alfred Jarry publicada en volumen y una de las primeras con esta función editorial de la revista, un libro hecho de fragmentos de origen diverso ?poesía, prosa, teatro? pero gobernado por un espíritu poético indudable. Remy de Gourmont se encarga del comentario elogioso en esas mismas páginas. El texto introductorio, de título Dintel, unifica los diferentes capítulos e invita a franquear la puerta de entrada a una poética que se quiere declaración de intenciones. El lenguaje ocupa aquí un lugar principal y definitorio; es principio, medio y fin de lo literario; todo y nada de lo simbólico; significante al tiempo que significado.

Alfred Jarry''s riotous, ground-breaking play, was a sensation upon first staging. This modern adaptation, which formed the basis of a short film, Roi, directed by acclaimed author, Neil Bartlett, brings a modernist classic to a contemporary audience. This bonkers and hilarious new translation of Ubu Royale was produced during the fever dream of lockdown. It features bodily incident and function. It is gloriously chaotic but, as Neil Bartlett so rightly says, consistency is for losers.

The singular novel by the legendary author of the play, UBU ROI, is a book that can only be compared to Rabelais or Sterne. FAUSTROLL recounts the adventures of the inventor of PATAPHYSIC, the 'science of imaginary solutions.' Jarry would have found an audience more readily if he had simply written a work of science fiction, a symbolist narrative, a bawdy tale or a spriritual allegory. As it is, FAUSTROLL is all of these at the same time.' - Roger Shattuk'

One of the most extraordinary events of the late nineteenth century in Paris was the opening on December 11, 1896, at the Théâtre de l’Oeuvre, of Alfred Jarry’s play Ubu Roi. The audience was scandalized by this revolutionary satire, developed from a schoolboy farce, which began with a four-letter word, defied all the traditions of the stage, and ridiculed the established values of bourgeois society. Barbara Wright’s witty translation of this riotous work is accompanied with drawings by Franciszka Themerson. Two previously untranslated essays in which Jarry explains his theories of the drama have also been included.
