Autobiography. Together with Nureev

Rudolf Nureyev ... His magical name has been exciting the imagination of everyone who heard something about him for more than half a century. There were much more rumors about this unique person than genuine knowledge. What was he really? An outstanding dancer, who during his lifetime became a legend man. Perhaps none of the Russian-Soviet artists of the ballet (even those who later, like him emigrated to the West), had the glory that fell to the share of Nureyev. A boy from a poor large family has become a real genius of dance. Everything in his creative biography did not work out thanks to, but contrary to. Contrary to everything, his admission to the Leningrad ballet school, gaining the status of a leading soloist of the legendary Kirov Opera and Ballet Theater, his famous “jump to freedom” and, as a result, fantastic success in the West. The book presents the memoirs of the French choreographer Roland Petit and the abbreviated version of Autobiography Rudolf Nureyev
