MARINETTI, Filippo Tommaso (1876-1944) - Zang Tumb Tumb. Adrianopoli ottobre 1912. Parole in libertà. Milan: Edizioni Futuriste di "Poesia", 1914. Presentation copy with an autograph dedication by the Author: "Isidoro Reggio to the author of the History of the Great Italy, very strong feelings F.T.Marinetti". First edition of the most important book of the futurist literature of Paroliberismo. The author tries to produce that revolution of style and syntax that he had defined in points in the Technical Manifesto of futurist literature: he uses the verb in the infinitive, abolishes punctuation, arranges the words in a free and almost anarchic way and gives them a sense for the noise they reproduce, that of the bombings, rather than for the relationships and juxtapositions they maintain. 8vo (200 x 137mm). Photoreproduction of the author by Emilio Sommariva, folding plate after p. 66 (several pages detached or almost detached). Original yellow wrappers printed in black (cover detached, rather serious defects and soiling).
