Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. According to the Preface of this book: "Vaslav Nijinsky was the great male dancer of our era. Neither the brevity of his active career, the tragedy of his life, nor the fact that he composed only four ballets has diminished the power of his incredible personality as both dancer and choreographer. The notorious aspects of his madness have enforced his fame, but nothing has lessened his essential greatness and the tremendous fascination and interest he holds for dancers." I will add a photo of the Table of Contents for your further information about this book. It is very well illustrated with b&w photos that span his career from his admission to the Imperial Ballet School in Russia to the melancholy days in Swiss confinement. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are a bit dust-dulled and have a few tiny specks of soiling but nothing extreme. They are not really bumped. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages and many photos are clean and bright. There is some light foxing to both endpapers and on a few pages elsewhere but again, nothing extreme. Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder. Many (illustrator).…
