The memoirs of Victor Marius Alphonse Petipa (11 March 1818 — 14 July 1910), a French-Russian ballet dancer, teacher and choreographer.
These highly entertaining memoirs of Marius Petipa, the great Franco-Russian choreogapher had never before been translated into English before their first publication in 1958. As virtual dictator of the Russian ballet in the second half of the 19th century, Petipa moulded its course for many years and may have been said to have created the style of classical dancing still known as Russian.
