a work of unparalleled genius
Tristan Tzara is by far one of the most influential poets of the 20th century, and this book is a fine introduction to the depth of his vision. Unfortunately, it seems as though his indespensible contribution to the world of literature has faded into obscurity. Approximate Man is not an easy read by any means, but is definitelty worth the effort. Few poems deal with the illusive nature of consciousness as effectively as tzara did in this work. an absolute must....

PURE BEAUTY
The first time I read this book was in Budapest. My friend and I crossed the Danube and we went to a cafe. It was a special day : My friend was leaving in a few hours. I was in love and I was scared. As soon as Istarted to read this book, I was carried away and I felt safe. I was in thehands of a master. Tristan Tzara is a genuis. ... Read more

THIS ARE IT
As can be seen by some of the reviews, this goes waaaaaay over some peoples heads.For others, it changes lives.I am of the latter category, and i will never be the same after having read this book.

This book does not define Dada. It is Dada.
All manifestos are the biographies of feeble and bitter love.Dada is, therefore, an impotent rapist.Still, Tzara is a charming and likable fellow.

If you want to know what Dada is, then Dada wants nothing to do with you.Approach this book at your own peril.

Dada is against death.Definition is death.This book does not commit murder. Therefore it does not define Dada.It is Dada....

not an academical book if that's what you're looking for
you won't find an explanation of what dada is, simply because it cannot be explained. dada is the anarchism in a french female-boxer soul. is an excellent literary book. not a college research book.

DADA mucht gut!Tzara--boomboom himmel!
MMMMMMMMMMM plastic fishy.Tzara lights yer neighbor's curtain on fire.Yummy blasphemy, beautiful bedroom eyes darting with paranoia all around a crowded room.Devilish leer, "small and dark", this is IT.

not very helpful
I checked this book out from my local library because Dadaism was mentioned in my Design class, and it sounded interesting.I wanted to learn more about it.I found this book to be very confusing and not veryinformative at all.It seems that they wrote this so abstract on purpose(which they may have).Although the final essay, lecture on dada, wasinformative and the essay was, on poetry, was very good.I'd recommendthis book just for those two lampistries. ...

Product Description
Dada or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in Zürich, Switzerland, during World War I.The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature—poetry, art manifestoes, art theory—theatre, and graphic design, and concentrated its anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Its purpose was to ridicule what its participants considered to be the meaninglessness of the modern world. In addition to being anti-war, dada was also anti-bourgeois and anarchistic in nature. ...

Excerpt: Alexandru Macedonski (Romanian pronunciation: ; also rendered as Al. A. Macedonski, Macedonschi or Macedonsky; March 14, 1854 - November 24, 1920) was a Wallachian-born Romanian poet, novelist, dramatist and literary critic, known especially for having promoted French Symbolism in his native country, and for leading the Romanian Symbolist movement during its early decades. A forerunner of local modernist literature, he is the first local author to have used free verse, and claimed by some to have been the first in modern European literature. Within the framework of Romanian literature, Macedonski is seen by critics as second only to national poet Mihai Eminescu; as leader of a cosmopolitan and aestheticist trend formed around his Literatorul journal, he was diametrically opposed to the inward-looking traditionalism of Eminescu and his school. Debuting as a Neoromantic in the Wallachian tradition, Macedonski went through the Realist-Naturalist stage deemed "social poet...http://booksllc.net/?id=1518375 ... Read more

Also active as a journalist, playwright, literary and art critic, composer and film director, he was known best for being one of the founders and central figures of the anti-establishment Dada movement. Under the influence of Adrian Maniu, the adolescent Tzara became interested in Symbolism and co-founded the magazine Simbolul with Ion Vinea (with whom he also wrote experimental poetry) and painter Marcel Janco. During World War I, after briefly collaborating on Vinea's Chemarea, he joined Janco in Switzerland. There, Tzara's shows at the Cabaret Voltaire and Zunfthaus zur Waag, as well as his poetry and art manifestos, became a main feature of early Dadaism.

After moving to Paris in 1919, Tzara, by then one of the "presidents of Dada", joined the staff of Littérature magazine, which marked the first step in the movement's evolution toward Surrealism. He was involved in the major polemics which led to Dada's split, defending his principles against André Breton and Francis Picabia, and, in Romania, against the eclectic modernism of Vinea and Janco.

Excerpt: Modernist poetry in English is generally considered to have emerged in the early years of the 20th century with the appearance of the Imagists. In common with many other modernists, these poets wrote in reaction to the perceived excesses of Victorian poetry, with its emphasis on traditional formalism and ornate diction. In many respects, their criticism echoes what William Wordsworth wrote in Preface to Lyrical Ballads to instigate the Romantic movement in British poetry over a century earlier, criticising the gauche and pompous school which then pervaded, and seeking to bring poetry to the layman. In general, modernists saw themselves as looking back to the best practices of poets in earlier periods and other cultures. Their models included ancient Greek literature, Chinese and Japanese poetry, the troubadours, Dante and the medieval Italian philosophical poets (such as Guido Cavalcanti), and the English Metaphysical poets. Much of early modernist poetry took the form of short, compact lyrics. As it developed, however, longer poems came to the fore. These represent the main contribution of the modernist movement to the 20th-century English poetic canon. The Imagist poet H.D. in the mid 1910sThe roots of English-language poetic modernism can be traced back to the works of a number of earlier writers, including Walt Whitman, whose long lines approached a type of free verse, the prose poetry of Oscar Wilde, Robert Browning's subversion of the poetic self, Emily Dickinson's compression and the writings of the early English Symbolists, especially Arthur Symons. However, these poets essentially remained true to the basic tenets of the Romantic movement and the appearance of the Imagists marked...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=275132 ... Read more
