You can retell a book, describe a painting in conversation... But who will be able to convey in words the magic of dance? How did this most ancient form of creativity, the same age as, in the words of Lucian, the great art of Love, emerge? How has the language of dance changed over the centuries in different nations? Are those who consider dance a flight of the spirit, a form of communication between man and God right, or is it just the ability to masterfully control one's body? These and many other questions are devoted to the work of the famous playwright and art historian Sergei Nikolaevich Khudekov (1837-1928). Being a passionate lover of dance and especially ballet, he created a brilliant four-volume work, which for many decades became the main book in Russia on the history of choreographic art. This new gift edition presents the best chapters of this classic masterpiece by Sergei Khudekov, telling the history of dance of different epochs, countries and peoples. The text of the book is decorated with full-color reproductions of paintings created by outstanding Russian and European artists.
