Recenzje

Praise for Ballet's Magic Kingdom: Selected Writings on Dance in Russia, 1911-1925 (2011): This is a fantastic book ... The book is a must for anyone claiming a love of ballet ... [Volynsky's text] is always hugely entertaining and surprising, you will never look at a toeshoe, a tiara or a tendu ... the same way again.
