Sinopsis

Dance Rivalries delves into the intense competitions that have shaped the world of dance. Exploring the lives of iconic figures, the book reveals how personal ambition and artistic vision fueled rivalries, impacting both careers and the evolution of dance itself. Artistic innovation often emerged from these duels, as dancers pushed boundaries to outshine their competitors; for instance, the rivalry between ballerinas Anna Pavlova and Pierina Legnani pushed them to achieve unprecedented technical feats. The narrative also examines the societal pressures that intensified these battles for recognition and lasting fame.

 
The book takes a narrative non-fiction approach, blending comprehensive research with engaging storytelling. Beginning with an introduction to rivalry in the performing arts, it progresses through specific dancer feuds, detailing the development of individual styles and the impact of these conflicts on the dance world. By drawing on biographies, archival materials, and critical reviews, Dance Rivalries illuminates how competition, while occasionally destructive, served as a catalyst for artistic excellence, challenging norms and inspiring new levels of creativity in ballet and modern dance.

    Growing up in Waterford, Tom McGrath never noticed the odd gaps in the stories of his parents' lives before he was born; it was only many years after they died that he uncovered the unspoken truths, which did so much to explain the people they had been.
    Here he tells the incredible true story of his father's conscription into the British Army, his escape from a prisoner-of-war camp in Poland, his daring journey across Europe and subsequent recapture – and the devastating news that awaited him in England. Tom's research also led him to discover that his mother also carried a heartbreaking secret.
    In writing this book Tom not only recreated his father's nail-biting escape but also embarked on a journey of his own to reconnect with previously unknown family members in order to piece together an extraordinarily rare tale that encompasses memoir, family history, and the parallel stories, which were almost lost for ever, of his parents' lives of desperate hardship.

    The Combals are not unacquainted with death: they have never quite recovered from the loss of one of them in childhood. And now, on Valentine's Day, they are losing another. 
    Guddy races to see her sister, Jerry and Bjarne avoid the phone and its news, Jean finds himself on a beach, and Annie fends off her mother's persistent questions about what's happening. And Therese tries to forgive them all before it's too late. 
    As each is forced to face the news of Therese's impending death, their actions weave a nuanced portrait of a family, of the devastating reach of childhood grief. 
    What if thinking is all we have at the end of the day? What if how we react really is all we can control? This transcendent first novel from award-winning poet Sina Queyras tells the story of childhood by illustrating six adult minds grappling with it: noticing, reaching, loving and flailing.
