Diaghilev
Format: Hardback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

This is the first full-length life of Diaghilev to appear for nearly forty years. Much new material about the great Russian creator of modern ballet, who was also the unquestioned arbiter of European taste in the first quarter of this century, has come to light since the publication of Haskell's and Lifar's biographies. Richard Buckle has acquired an insight into the mind of Diaghilev, which enables him to write with authority on his hopes and fears, his triumphs and disasters during the quarter-century which may well go down in history as "the Diaghilev era" in art. -- Provided by publisher.
