Translation of Nizhinskiĭ. "A Dance Horizons Book." Includes index.
"This book chronicles the sublime achievements of Nijinsky the dancer and recounts the sorrowful history of Nijinsky the man. Its pages sparkle with names immortal in dance, music, and theatre - Nijinsky's teacher, partners, colleagues: Legat and Cecchetti; Kschessinska, Karsavina, and Pavlova: Bakst and Benoit; Stravinsky, Debussy, and Ravel. Looming above all are his mentor Diaghilev, who made him the 'miracle' that he was, and his wife Romola, who devotedly cared for the gentle madman that he became." -- Book Jacket
