From dust jacket notes: "This is the first Russian biography of the legendary Vaslav Nijinsky ever published in English: a haunting story of the genius and the tragedy of a great Russian dancer. Nijinsky's meteoric career spanned barely more than a decade, from 1906 to 1917, yet in those few fleeting years he set new standards for every male dancer who succeeded him. Even as a student, he was regarded with wonder. His virtuosity and perfect technique dazzled the ballet masters of St. Petersburg. Audiences gasped as he leaped to celestial heights, yet were profoundly moved by his vivid characterizations. He was acclaimed as the new Vestris, the new 'god of the dance.' Whether prince or puppet, Nijinsky was the consummate artist. In Giselle he displayed poetic insights into the noble hero; in Petrouchka he embodied his own tragic fate. As slave and spirit, he astonished viewers in Scheherazade, intoxicated them in Le Spectre de la Rose. With his daringly different choreography for L'Apres-Midi d'un Faune and Le Sacre du Printemps, Nijinsky departed from Fokine's revolutionary but outworn style and approached the neo-classicism later developed by Balanchine. Yet, springing from the dark recesses of his own soul, troubled thoughts pushed Nijinsky inexorably closer to an abyss that separated art from reality. Early on there were intimations of the madness that would finally claim him: the deep melancholia of his adolescence; his introspection and strange indifference; his inescapable, and impenetrable, solitude....With over 100 photographs from the archives of the Leningrad State Theater Museum -- some never before published.", Hardcover, Label: Schirmer G Books, Schirmer G Books, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 1979-11, Studio: Schirmer G Books, Verkaufsrang: 1844719.
