Scraping on head of dustwrapper spine and upper rear corner. Minor wear otherwise; very good to near fine and professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. "From now on no celebration, no artistic or acrobatic spectacle can do without this amazing performer, who has invented something quite his own.His act is partly ballet and partly sport, partly satire and partly charade. He has devised a way of being both the player, the ball and the tennis racquet, of being simultaneously the football and the goalkeeper, the boxer and the opponent, the bicycle and the cyclist. Without any props, he conjures up his accessories and his partners. He has suggestive powers of all great artists," wrote Colette in 1936 reviewing a music-hall performance. Bellos charts Tati's career from his first success with "Jour de Fete" and "M. Hulot's Holiday", through the financial disaster of "Playtime" that left him bankrupt, to his swansong in "Trafic" and "Parade".<
