Born in Italy, the first avant-garde of the twentieth century - before Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism -, Futurism is a major landmark in the history of art and of modern thought. Rather than a school of painting or literature, it was a revolutionary movement whose aim was to create a new awareness and a new approach to the world in general and to art in particular. It embodied the determination to perpetually regenerate man confronted with the progress of technology (electricity, mechanization, telecommunication ...). The Futurists' challenge was to combine all the aspects of modernism within aesthetic creation, re-considering them both in a single dynamic sweep. Ranging from plastic arts to culinary arts, they gave birth to amazing works that would become references for the following avant-gardes, and today, a legacy claimed by many artists. In this reference summing-up, the author reviews the different aesthetic stages of the movement, from "plastic dynamism" in the 1910s to aeropainting in the 1930s, and examines the relationship, long the object of controversy, between the movement and the Italian Fascist government.

Joel is growing up. He is getting interested in girls. Just look at his New Year’s resolutions: 1 — to see a naked lady; 2 — to toughen himself up so that he can live to be a hundred; and 3 — to see the sea. They all look pretty impossible for a motherless boy in Northern Sweden. Especially as his sailor dad is keen to drown his sadness in drink, and all the local matrons are narrowly watching the pair of them. And then he saves old Simon from a frozen death in the woods, and Joel becomes a local hero. This is the third title in the popular series of children’s books from this master storyteller. The two previous ones are A Bridge to the Stars and Shadows in the Twilight.
