Description

Exploits & Opinions of Dr. Faustroll, Pataphysician is a foundational text of pataphysics, a philosophy of imaginary solutions. Written by Alfred Jarry, this novel is a central work in his oeuvre and a quietly influential work of 20th-century literature.

Published in 1996, this novel recounts the adventures of the inventor of Pataphysics, a science that seeks to find meaning in the absurd. With its unique blend of philosophy and anarchic humor, Exploits & Opinions of Dr. Faustroll is a thought-provoking read for those interested in alternative history and the philosophy of the absurd.

First published in 1911, this edition features 139 pages of paperback binding, offering a concise and accessible introduction to Jarry's innovative ideas.
