Upton Sinclair 
Damaged Goods / The great play ‘Les avariés’ by Brieux [EPUB ebook] 

Support

"Damaged Goods" (also known as "Les Avariés" in French) is a poignant play by Eugène Brieux, vividly portrayed by Upton Sinclair. This timeless work, first published in 1912, confronts the taboo subject of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), particularly syphilis, and their profound impact on individuals and society. Through the protagonist, George Dupont, Brieux illustrates the devastating consequences of contracting syphilis, both physically and emotionally. As Dupont's life spirals out of control, the play exposes the ignorance, stigma, and societal hypocrisy surrounding STDs, while advocating for education, prevention, and empathy. Sinclair's portrayal captures the urgency and poignancy of Brieux's message, igniting important conversations about sexual health, morality, and social responsibility. "Damaged Goods" stands as a powerful testament to the enduring relevance of theater in addressing pressing social issues and challenging audiences to confront uncomfortable truths.
