Böcker av Filippo Tommaso Marinetti

Both madcap cookbook and manifesto on Futurism, Marinetti's exuberant and entertaining book has been described as one of 'the best artistic jokes of the century'No other cultural force except the early twentieth-century avant-garde movement Futurism has produced a provocative work about art disguised as an easy-to-read cookbook. Part manifesto, part artistic joke, Fillippo Marinetti's The Futurist Cookbook is a collection of recipes, experiments, declamations and allegorical tales. Here are recipes for ice cream on the moon; candied atmospheric electricities; nocturnal love feasts; sculpted meats. Marinetti also sets out his argument for abolishing pasta as ill-suited to modernity, and advocates a style of cuisine that will increase creativity. Although at times betraying its author's nationalistic sympathies, The Futurist Cookbook is funny, provocative, whimsical, disdainful of sluggish traditions and delighted by the velocity and promise of modernity.Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was born in 1876 to Italian parents and grew up in Alexandria, Egypt, where he was nearly expelled from his Jesuit school for championing scandalous literature. He then studied in Paris and obtained a law degree in Italy before turning to literature. In 1909 he wrote the infamous Futurist Manifesto, which championed violence, speed and war, and proclaimed the unity of art and life. Marinetti's life was fraught with controversy: he fought a duel with a hostile critic, was subject to an obscenity trial, and was a staunch supporter of Italian Fascism. Alongside his literary activities, he was a war correspondent during the Italo-Turkish War and served on the Eastern Front in World War II, despite being in his sixties. He died in 1944.'A paean to sensual freedom, optimism and childlike, amoral innocence ... it has only once been answered, by Aldous Huxley's Brave New World' Lesley Chamberlain

La sera del primo giugno 1918 nella baracca dei bombardieri piantata spavaldamente a sghimbescio sopra una cresta montana di Val d¿Astico, si mangiava e beveva allegramente. Le lunghe lunghe forchette rosse del tramonto s¿intrecciavano con le nostre, arrotolando gli spaghetti sanguigni e fumanti. Una ventina di ufficiali, tenenti, capitani, colonnello Squilloni giocondo e pettoruto a capo-tavola. Fame da bombardieri dopo una giornata di lavoro duro. Silenzio religioso di bocche che masticano preghiere succolente. Teste chine sui piatti. Ma i più giovani non amano le pause, e vogliono ridere, agire. Sanno la mia fantasia feconda in beffe e mi eccitano con occhiate. C¿è troppo silenzio a ta...

Il nostro Partito Politico Futurista è nato naturalmente dalla grande corrente spirituale del movimento artistico futurista.

F. T. Marinetti (1876-1944) is widely known as the founder of Futurism, an early twentieth-century cultural revolution that began as a literary movement and expanded to influence painters, musicians, dramatists, architects, and graphic artists throughout the world. This volume, a translation of more than forty poems and prose works by Marinetti, presents premier examples of his rich poetic creations, many for the first time in English. The collection has been selected by Luce Marinetti to represent the entire span of the poet's career, and it includes works originally written in either French or Italian, Marinetti's two primary languages. The volume begins with Marinetti's early lyrical works, poems that exemplify styles and themes that he later reacted against in his own manifestos. It continues with his poems of battle, in which Marinetti used the language of machines and explosions to express his view of poetry as reportage from the front; "Words in Freedom," in which he declared war on poetry by destroying syntax and spelling and by experimenting with typography; and finally love poems to his wife, Benedetta, in which he returned in part to subjects and forms that he had previously rejected. The volume includes a prefatory biography of Marinetti written by Luce Marinetti, as well as a critical review by Paolo Valesio of Marinetti's accomplishment as a poet.

In piena bagarre futurista, l'ideologo, il mentore il "capo" del movimento Filippo Tommaso Marinetti venne formalmente accusato di oltraggio al pudore a causa del suo testo "Mafarka il Futurista". Marinetti, in sua difesa chiese aiuto a tutta quella pletora di amici e discepoli che allora lo circondavano e lo veneravano. Egli per l'occasione mobilitò alcuni dei più celebri avvocati milanesi del tempo che lo seguissero durante il processo, che ebbe luogo nell'ottobre del 1910 davanti a un folto pubblico di letterati, artisti, giornalisti e studenti oltre a tutti i nomi più noti degli esponenti del movimento futurista: Boccioni, Balla, Russolo, Carrà, Sant'elia, Ciacelli e molti altri. Marinetti per rafforzare la difesa della sua posizione fece ricorso anche alla perizia 'tecnica' di un suo grande amico e grande letterato italiano, Luigi Capuana, che si espresse con toni sinceramente entusiasti nei confronti dell'opera ("è precisamente il poema, non il romanzo, della conquista del pieno possesso della libertà spirituale dell'individuo").L'accusa di oscenità a carico del Marinetti verteva soprattutto sui primi due capitoli del suo scritto, e per l'esattezza l'episodio dello "stupro delle negre" e il gigantesco membro virile di dieci metri sfoggiato da Mafarka nel secondo episodio. Il processo alla fine si concluse con l'assoluzione, e fu in pratica una solenne occasione per pubblicizzare il futurismo attraverso un grande e chiassoso happening pubblico...La nostra edizione è abbellita e impreziosita con diverse tavole artistiche di vari artisti e protagonisti del futurismo: Boccioni , Russolo e lo stesso Marinetti!
