About the book: 1912 / “A slap in the face to public taste" - the first collection of poetry Cubo-Futurists (poetic group “Gilea”), published on December 18, 1912. The manifesto attached to the collection, four months later re-issued as a leaflet, denied all previous aesthetic values ​​and in a deliberately shocking form declared a break with the existing literary tradition. The text of the manifesto was composed by Burliuk, Kruchenykh, Mayakovsky and Khlebnikov during one day at the Romanovka Hotel in Moscow. http://ruslit.traumlibrary.net
