{"product_id":"isadora","title":"Isadora","description":"\"There was never a place for [Isadora Duncan] in the ranks of the terrible, slow army of the cautious. She ran ahead, where there were no paths.\" - Dorothy Parker \n\n\nIn 1899, performing in the drawing rooms of London's elite, Isadora Duncan was already laying the foundations for modern dance. The 22-year-old's movements were visceral, free-flowing, and expressive; she performed barefoot. She shattered the conventions of traditional ballet and, in doing so, enchanted high society. A year later, in Paris, she met the sculptor Auguste Rodin, whose work proved a revelation, and the influential dancer Loie Fuller, whose support marked the beginning of a dazzling on-stage career. \n\n\n\nIn Isadora, Julie Birmant and Clement Oubrerie capture the astonishing life and scandalous times of the so-called \"Mother of Modern Dance.\" This extraordinary graphic novel takes in her arrival in Europe, her rise to stardom and the development of a style of dance ? inspired by natural forms and Greek sculpture ? that would become her enduring legacy.","brand":"SelfMadeHero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39656704180309,"sku":"9781910593691N","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/13608374-a459-4a13-bec4-9200b9ba1b13.jpg?v=1644299883","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/isadora","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
