Nureyev: An Autobiography with Pictures Illustrated by Richard Avedon, Michael Peto, Antony Crickmay, and others. With an introduction by Alexander Bland. published by E P Dutton, NY 1968, 1st edition, 3rd printing "But what was I going to find on the other side of the fence, here in Europe? I would find myself alone, but not in the way I liked: it would be total solitude. This new freedom seemed very dark to me. Yet I knew that this was the only possible choice, because it offered me the hope of building something that suited me, the hope of learning, of observing for myself, of growing." In 1962, when the Cold War reached its apogee age, the young Russian Rudolf Nureyev dazzled the West with his art and within a few months became an internationally renowned star. This is the moment that this 25-year-old dancer chooses to publish the testimony of his young years, from his difficult childhood in the USSR to his sensational passage to the West, just a year ago. The former star of the Soviet Kirov ballet on the way to becoming a Western superstar fully delivers himself in this text, which will take more than fifty years to be published in France. All of Nureyev's personality is already there, with this whole and determined character, a source of melancholy, but also an essential asset in daring to transgress the family, political and artistic authority of his time.
