Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Erdgeist (Earth-Spirit): A Tragedy in Four Acts" by Frank Wedekind is a play written in 1895. It follows Lulu, a enigmatic woman whose mysterious past and powerful allure leave destruction in her wake. As she moves from lover to lover—from a physician to a painter to a powerful newspaper publisher—each man projects his own desires onto her while her true identity remains hidden. When passion turns deadly, Lulu's fate spirals toward imprisonment and an ominous future detailed in the sequel, "Pandora's Box."
