A New Take On Diaghilev
Drawing on a great deal of new research, and relying wherever possible on contemporary journals and letters, Sjeng Scheijen puts Diaghilev into a different frame to any of his previous biographers. He shows us a man "driven by an overpowering need to explore the mystery of human creativity in its highest form" who "resolved to transform his age and consecrate his life to the cult of beauty."
