Erdgeist (Earth-Spirit) a Tragedy in Four Acts is an exciting and dramatic play written by the famous German playwright Frank Wedekind. Many individuals familiar with theater and major playwrights in history consider Wedekind a major player in the development of epic theater, or plays that are engendering of illusion. It is also important to note that through the majority of Wedekind's work he criticized bourgeois attitudes with particularly scathing criticism aimed at popular beliefs around sex, gender, and sexuality, and this play is no exception.This play is actually written in tandem with another play by Wedekind entitled "Die Büchse der Pandora" (Pandora's Box) which when combined establish a full panorama of the main character's life. These "Lulu" plays present the life of female protagonist Lulu, an enticing young dancer who rises through the ranks of German society via her entanglements with wealthy men. While the act of sex initially secures her fame and fortune, those rewards are tragically fleeting and she rapidly devolves into prostitution as her only means of survival. This play presents sexuality and violence very candidly, to the point that it might make more sensitive readers uncomfortable or upset. A novelty when first printed, this play still pushes the limits of what individuals might feel is acceptable to explore in literature.While tragic in nature, Erdgeist (Earth-Spirit) a Tragedy in Four Acts is a wonderful example of an epic play when paired with its sister work. Wedekind's undertaking is no small matter, and readers will find this play both engaging, and entertaining as a complex and dramatic work. The popularity of this piece should also be noted, as it has been crafted into an opera, a motion picture, was the inspiration for a collaboration rock album, and is currently being adapted into a series of comics.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The opposite of Shaw's My Fair Lady By Dr Jacques COULARDEAU That's the first of the two Lulu plays that are the models and sort of libretto of Alban Berg's eponymous opera, Lulu. This first play only follows Lulu through her social ascent up to the death of her third husband, Dr Schön Sr. She was picked up from the street at the age of twelve by that Dr Schön Sr., raised and educated into being a lady. But you cannot negate your original nature, Wedekind tells us on the model of Emile Zola's naturalism, and as opposed to Bernard Shaw's My Fair Lady. Lulu is married by her benefactor, first to an older man, Dr Goll, who dies of a heart attack when he discovers she is having an affair with the painter who is painting her portrait. Then Dr Schön Sr. marries her to the painter who makes a brilliant career thanks to the help of Dr Schön Sr. as a press editor in chief. But this painter commits suicide when Dr Schön Sr. tells him who she really is in order to make him look after his wife more closely. Then she starts a dancing career with Alva Schön in his theater. She is brilliant till the night when Doctor Schön Sr. comes to the show with his fiancée. She then faints on stage and afterwards forces Dr Schön Sr. to write a breaking up letter to his fiancée and he will eventually marry her. Then Lulu goes on having intrigues more than affairs with men, all kinds of men, Alva of course, but also anyone young or old popping up. Is she a whore as she is accused of being, or just a woman who likes to be courted and wooed? From what we see we may think she is the second, though she encourages Alva's cooing and wooing, while her husband, his father, can see the scene. The father, her husband, comes with a gun and tries to force her to kill herself. She finally shoots him in the back with five bullets. And the end comes with the police ringing at the door. Her tragic fate is the consequence of a belief there is no possible change in someone's nature, hence Lulu was born in the gutter in the street and she will have to cause death and create drama, inflict devastation on the world around her. But each victim of her charm will go up in the seriousness of their violent ends: a heart attack, hence a death that is natural; a suicide, hence a death brought up by the victim himself; and finally a murder in self defense but entirely caused by an aggression she had caused herself. She is, at the end, a plain murderess even if in self defense attire. God bless the child, because she is a child.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU, University of Paris Dauphine, University of Paris 1 Pantheon Sorbonne, University of Versailles Saint Quentin en Yvelines.
