Vaslav Nijinsky was unique as a dancer, interpretive artist, and
choreographic pioneer. His breathtaking performances with the
Ballet Russe from 1909 to 1913 took Western Europe by storm. His
avant-garde choreography for The Afternoon of the Faune and The
Rite of Spring provoked riots when performed and are now regarded
as the foundation of modern dance. Through his liaison with the
great impresario Diaghilev, he worked with the artistic elite of
the time. During the fabulous Diaghilev years he lived in an
atmosphere of perpetual hysteria, glamor, and intrigue. Then, in
1913, he married a Hungarian aristocrat, Romola de Pulszky, and was
abruptly dismissed from the Ballet Russe. Five years later, he was
declared insane. The fabulous career as the greatest dancer who
ever lived was over. Drawing on countless people who knew and
worked with Nijinsky, Richard Buckle has written the definitive
biography of the legendary dancer.
