The author, a dancer and a friend of Nureyev's, has written this biography with warmth and immediacy. She brings to life his early years in Russia before his defection in 1961 and then concentrates on his international career as a dancer, choreographer, teacher, and company director. The black-and-white photographs were chosen with care to cover the many stages of Nureyev's career.
