by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti Return to list Adopt this book

In this controversial cookbook, Italian Futurist artist Filippo Tommaso Marinetti proposes the incorporation of new sensations into food: speed, technology, colour, sculptures, noises and tactile pleasures. A stimulating title for anyone interested in European Avant Garde cuisine. This book is in Italian.

I use the British Library often for research, but I LOVE adopting books as gifts for people. My most recent adoption was in honor of my English professor in college. I am not just a literary scholar because of her influence--I am also a better human being.

My daughter and I both love the ambiance of the British Library and feel proud to be Readers. Supporting the Adopt a Book scheme is the least I can do.
