Filippo Tommaso Marinetti Livres

The Futurist movement was founded and promoted by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, beginning in 1909 with the First Futurist Manifesto, in which he inveighed against the complacency of "cultural necrophiliacs" and sought to annihilate the values of the past, writing that "there is no longer any beauty except the struggle. Any work of art that lacks a sense of aggression can never be a masterpiece." In the years that followed, up until his death in 1944, Marinetti, through both his polemical writings and his political activities, sought to transform society in all its aspects. As Günter Berghaus writes in his introduction, "Futurism sought to bridge the gap between art and life and to bring aesthetic innovation into the real world. Life was to be changed through art, and art was to become a form of life." This volume includes more than seventy of Marinetti's most important writings―many of them translated into English for the first time―offering the reader a representative and still startling selection of texts concerned with Futurist art, literature, politics, and philosophy.

Part manifesto, part artistic joke, Fillippo Marinetti's Futurist Cookbook is a provocative work about art disguised as an easy-to-read cookbook. 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. He 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.

Publikácia ONESKORENÉ VINOBRANIE je tak trochu výnimočná preto, lebo výber textov a ich redakcia sú poznačené dosť subjektívnymi kritériami. Zostavovateľ do nej zaradil texty autorov, ku ktorým má osobitý vzťah, od ktorých sa učil a ku ktorým sa s väčšou či menšou intenzitou v priebehu svojej umeleckej aktivity vracal. Paul Verlaine, Jean Arthur Rimbaud, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, Guillaume Apollinaire, Tristan Tzara, Paul Eluard či André Breton (hoci ten v prítomnom výbore zastúpený nie je) predstavujú pre Ivana Mojíka, autora niekoľkých básnických zbierok, koncentrát tých úsilí a snáh, o ktoré sa moderná európska lyrika v minulom období usilovala. Ivan Mojík prebásňoval ich texty z doslovných prekladov svojej ženy Drahomíry Mojíkovej, ktorá bola za svojho života jeho neoceniteľnou spolupracovníčkou a tlmočníčkou. Aj preto je kniha venovaná jej pamiatke.

Nuova edizione di un romanzo controverso ma fondamentale del fondatore del Futurismo: un re africano genera un figlio divino solo attraverso la forza della sua volontà. Include un nuovo saggio critico.

Filippo Tommaso Marinettis Manifeste des Futurismus, veröffentlicht am 20. Februar 1909 im Pariser Figaro, gilt als Initialzündung der europäischen Avantgardebewegungen und hatte eine ungeheure Folgewirkung. Es war der Aufruf zur bedingungslosen Ausrottung des Alten, um dem Neuen Raum zu verschaffen. Noch im selben Jahr legte der Autor, der zu einem Glutkern der fatalen Verflechtung von Politik und Kunst(-theorie) wurde, mit einem weiteren Manifest nach: Tod dem Mondschein. Darin radikalisiert er seinen Aufruf und zeichnet die Vision einer glorreichen Zukunft. Der vorliegende Band versammelt alle weiteren bis 1944 verfassten Manifeste Marinettis. Sie zeugen von seiner Kühnheit und instinktiven Hellsichtigkeit, verweisen im Lichte der Geschichte zugleich auf die fatalen Folgen seiner Forderungen, stellen aber darüber hinaus auch die Frage nach der Kunst in unserer heutigen Gesellschaft.
