Written by Alfred Jarry in 1899, Ubu enchaîné is the counterpart to King Ubu. A bloodthirsty and shameless monster, mistreated by his enemies while he sets out to conquer Poland in the first opus, Father Ubu decides in this new episode "to become good and make himself useful," even if it means becoming a slave and being harnessed to the galleys. But nothing really changes in his essential, ferocious and outrageous nature, and his indomitable tyranny will lead him to become king of the prisoners. Eluding any definitive interpretation, Alfred Jarry's work spans the ages, always combining modernity and parody.
This edition is enriched by numerous drawings by Denis Pouppeville which reinforce the features of this grotesque universe.
