The first major biography for forty years tells the tragic story of ballet's great revolutionary Nijinsky. ' He achieves the miraculous ' the sculptor Auguste Rodin wrote of Vaslav Nijinsky. ' He embodies all the beauty of classical frescoes & statues'. Like so many since Rodin recognised that in Nijinsky" classical ballet had one of the greatest & most original artists of the twentieth century in any genre. & his life is the stuff of legends: a story of great beauty & great tragedy. Immersed in the world of dance from his childhood he found his natural home in the Imperial Theatre & the Ballets Russe & a powerful sponsor in Sergei Diaghilev
- until a dramatic & public failure ended his career & set him on a route to madness. As a dancer he was acclaimed as godlike for his extraordinary grace & elevation but the opening of Stravinsky's " The Rite of Spring" saw furious brawls between admirers of his radically unballetic choreography & horrified traditionalists. Though 2013 marks the Rite's centenary " Nijinsky's" story has lost none of its power to shock fascinate & move. Adored & reviled in his lifetime his phenomenal talent was shadowed by schizophrenia & an intense but destructive relationship with his lover Diaghilev. 'I am alive' he wrote in his diary 'and so I suffer'. In the first biography for forty years Lucy Moore examines a career defined by two forces
- inspired performance & an equally headline-grabbing talent for controversy."
