Marinetti’s military impressions were embodied in the furious essay “The Battle of Tripoli” (1911). This book of poetic prose fully reflected both the literary talent and the militaristic pathos of the Italian futurist. Translated into Russian by the ego-futurist and future leader of imagism V. Shershenevich, “The Battle of Tripoli” has not been reprinted since 1915 and has long been a bibliographic rarity. The publication is provided with detailed comments.
