First edition of Serge Lifar's intimate, revealing autobiography. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket.
French ballet dancer and choreographer Serge Lifar is widely regarded as one of the greatest male ballet dancers of the 20th century and the world's most outstanding choreographers. At the outbreak of the second world war, he took on a secret liaison job to protect French artistic interests from German assault. His account of his adventures in France during the Nazi scourge is as exciting as a war novel, and provides an important first ad-account of the behind-the-scenes intrigue, plots, and counterplots of those years.
