Reseña del editor:

Michael Flatley is a phenomenon: a champion boxer, flautist, Irish dancer, multi-millionaire businessman and one of the highest paid performers in the world. In his honest and powerful autobiography he describes growing up as the son of Irish immigrants in a tough Chicago neighbourhood and the many years he struggled to make real his dream of becoming a professional Irish dancer. He was in his mid-thirties when he was asked to create 'Riverdance' for the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, bursting onto our television screens with a dazzling dance sequence. It seemed he'd found success only to lose it again as he left the subsequent show following legal wrangles. Staying true to his vision he was determined not to give up and went on to create the massively successful Lord of the Dance and Feet of Flames shows, selling out tours and breaking records around the world. His new show Celtic Tiger is already a sell-out success in North America. His life has seen many ups and downs - the break up of his marriage, stormy relationships, a false accusation of rape, a brush with cancer - but through it all his determination and self-belief have carried him forward to yet more remarkable acheivements.
