Inhaltsangabe

"Natacha Rambova; the name carries with it visions of onion-domed citadels and faraway places," wrote her biographer, Michael Morris.Yet Rambova's life was far more complex than the years she spent married to Rudolph Valentino. Independent, intellectually curious, and deeply committed to scholarship, she went on to lecture on symbolism, comparative religion, and Near Eastern art before dedicating the final decades of her life to Egyptology.Completed posthumously by Evelyn Zumaya, Beyond Valentino preserves Michael Morris's final tribute to Rambova. Drawing upon material from his personal archive, the volume includes unpublished writings by Rambova, selections from The Cosmic Circuit, her essay "Arriba España," and commentary from leading scholars.Richly illustrated throughout, Beyond Valentino offers a revealing portrait of one of the most intriguing and misunderstood women of the twentieth century.
