Editorial Reviews
Review
... Gunter Berghaus has filled a gap, giving at the same time a very sound account of the evolution of the ideas that Futurism engendered. The book is well designed, offering short chronological chapters with good illustrations and notes at the end of each./ Masolino D'Amico, TLS, 14/05/99.

A Mind Blower!,
By Buzz Saw (Cleveland, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Italian Futurist Theatre, 1909-1944 (Hardcover)
I can't say enough about how great I think this book is. It took me almost twelve hours of reading time to finish it from cover to cover. I simply couldn't put it down. Especially interesting was how the concept of future theatre actually thrived during the war years, mostly by neccessity. I guarantee that once you begin reading this masterpiece, you won't be able to stop.
