About This Item
Quarto Books, London 1975 Hardcover, 22cms x 13.5cms, with dust jacket Free front endpaper missing. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stickers and stamps.Book in FAIR condition At the peak of a brilliant career, Vaslav Nijinsky went mad. Twenty-five years later, as the Red Army advances across Nazi-occupied Hungary, the horror and disruption of war awaken in him glorious and humiliating memories (including his bizarre relationship with Diaghilev, and the fiasco of his American tour) contributing to his paranoia and spiritual confusion. This is a fictionalised reconstruction of his last days.
