Two plays by the German playwright Frank Wedekind (1964-1918) under the General title "Lulu" ("Spirit of the earth" and "Pandora's Box") — one of the recognized masterpieces of literature of European modernity. They brought to the stage the image of the "femme fatale", which leads to the death of all men who fall in love with her. These plays were published for the first time in Russian in 1908 in translations by Sergei Gorodetsky ("prologue"), Vsevolod Meyerhold ("Spirit of the earth") and Polina Guberman ("Pandora's Box") and subsequently used by Meyerhold for stage productions. Anton Flerov's Preface describes the figures of Wedekind and Meyerhold in connection with the problems of "Lulu" and allows us to more clearly outline the various meanings of a complex, multi-layered work.
