About This Book

A polemical manifesto asserts an energetic break with academic literature, celebrating Futurist vigor and industrial modernity while condemning stale bourgeois taste and literary institutions. It credits Marinetti's insurgent spirit for new rhythms and casts poetic language as a forceful instrument, favoring agitation over decorum. The text mixes invective, theatrical provocation, and satirical sketches to ridicule a conservative literary figure and expose perceived hypocrisy, championing generational revolt, creative audacity, and the rejection of established moral and aesthetic conventions.
