This exceptional biography-one of a kind- explores the world of Ulanova, and offers a unique look at the woman behind the legend. " " As a result of his friendship with Ulanova, writer-photographer Albert E. Kahn had the singular opportunity to study Ulanova as dancer, teacher, performer, warm friend, and a shy, modest woman seeking solitude among her beloved birch groves in the Russian countryside. Kahn has captured it all in words and pictures- from the magnificent performances to the intimate glimpses of her day-to-day life. " Contents include: " Introduction by Arnold L.
