Baron Wolfgang von Kempelen unveils a strange and amazing invention The Mechanical Turk, a sensational and unbeatable chess playing automaton. But what the Habsburg court hails as the greatest innovation of the century is really nothing more than a brilliant illusion. The chess machine is secretly operated from inside by the Italian dwarf Tibor, a God fearing social outcast whose chess playing abilities and diminutive size make him the perfect accomplice in this grand hoax. Von Kempelen and his helpers tour his remarkable invention all around Europe to amaze and entertain the public, but despite many valiant attempts and close calls, no one is able to beat the extraordinary chess machine. The crowds all across Europe adore the Turk, and the success of Baron von Kempelen seems assured. But when a beautiful and seductive Countess dies under mysterious circumstances in the presence of the automaton, the Mechanical Turk falls under a cloud of suspicion, and the machine and its inventor become the target of espionage, persecution, and aristocratic intrigue. What is the dark secret behind this automaton and what strange powers does it hold? From the dungeons of Venice to the imperial court in Vienna, from the palaces of the Pressburg nobility to the alleyways of the Jewish quarter 'The Secrets of the Chess Machine' is the breathtaking historical adventure, based on a true story, of a legendary invention.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Jacket photo after Richard Avedon (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with '1' on copyright page. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, WITHOUT DEDICATION, IN BLACK PEN, ON TITLE PAGE. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very very slightly bruised, some faint dints to either side of spine, 'Signed by the Author' sticker to front jacket, not price clipped (£25.00), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 787pp, illustrated. Ballet's first pop icon, Rudolf Nureyev (1938-93), revolutionised an old art form, bringing a new young audience to opera houses and sparking Rudimania across the globe. From his birth on a train in Siberia at the height of Stalin's Terrors, Nureyev's life was extraordinary. His career was decided at the age of 8 and nine years later, leaving his Tatar peasant family behind him, he realised his dream of studying at the Kirov's school. The account of Nureyev's Leningrad years has never been more compellingly told, focusing on a teacher of genius who moulded the late starter into a star, the guilty affair with his beloved mentor's wife and the dancer's homosexual rite of passage, a secret liaison with an East German student who was the catalyst behind Nureyev's escape to the West. The l961 defection was just the beginning. Nureyev spent the rest of his life breaking barriers, reinventing male technique, 'crashing the gates' of modern dance, iconoclastically changing ballet's most hallowed classics; and making dance history by partnering England's prima ballerina assoluta Margot Fonteyn, a woman twice his age. Through previously unpublished letters the author traces Nureyev's passionate and deeply troubled relationship with the great Danish dancer Erik Bruhn, and tells the story of his poignant on off 'marriage' to a young American film student. Then there were the women, women of all ages were dazzled by the star, a few successfully seduced him, others simply enslaved themselves. Sex was a driving force for Nureyev, but conjoined to the sinner was always the saint, and it was this Byronic duality in himself of 'dirt and deity' that Nureyev used his ballets to explore. This definitive biography, nine years in the making, draws for the first time on private papers, diaries and home movie footage, and includes reminiscences from scores of colleagues and friends, the closest of whom had hitherto refused to cooperate with any writer. Julie Kavanagh, herself a former dancer, examines with authority Nureyev's legacy as a choreographer and director (an inspirational Diaghilev figure to young proteges like Sylvie Guillem) and her memories of the star's greatest years creates a sense of the exultation and heart-bursting impact of watching Nureyev on stage. a very large heavy book, extra postage may be required. Scarce signed. Signed by Author(s).
