It was not released in book form until 1922. Ubu Krol is inspired by three of Shakespeare's plays: Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth. The play begins with Ubu, a former king from France, who, upon his arrival in Poland, becomes the captain of the dragoons of King Wenceslas. One day his wife Ubica persuades her husband to make a coup d'état. Ubu manages to seize power in Poland and kill the king, but one of the royal sons, Byczyslaw, escapes alive. After some time, Ubu is overthrown, Byczyslaw ascends the throne, and Ubu and his wife escape back to France. The initial performance in 1896 was so controversial a riot occurred! Light wear to bottom front corner; cocked spine; bump to the far margin of pages ix-xvi in the introduction, pages 179/180 have some handling wear. There is a small purple stamp on last page and inside back cover that appears to be an inspector's stamp.
