Rudolf Nureyev

Born on a train in Stalin s Russia, Rudolf Nureyev was ballet s first pop icon. No other dancer of our time has generated the same excitement both on and off stage.Nureyev s achievements and conquests became legendary: he rose out of Tatar peasant poverty to become the Kirov s thrilling maverick star; slept with his beloved mentor s wife; defected to the West in l961; sparked Rudimania across the globe; gave his rabid sexuality full reign; established the most rhapsodic partnership in dance history with the middle-aged Margot Fonteyn; reinvented male technique; gatecrashed modern dance; moulded new stars; and staged Russia s unknown ballet masterpieces in the West. Julie Kavanagh s uncompromising and magnificent biography, ten years in the making, is a brilliant tribute to a superstar the world can never forget.
