"What lies behind the metaphor of dance? What mysterious alchemy creates the greatest dancer of our time? These rare, candid photos reveal Nureyev's incredible commitment to the craft, and his passionate devotion to finding a way to slip the bounds of mortal gravity and leap to a height with a love and a command of the art never seen before or since. Far from the maddening crowd in the middle of America an amateur photographer who was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable fan won Nureyev's trust so that he was allowed to go behind and beyond the staged performances of this master artist and capture those revealing moments of his incredible hard work and his freeform, artistic play. Who else but Nureyev could, in the heat of a St. Louis summer, let loose a leap that raised the spirits of all who saw it? Now we can see this amazing artist who had such a unique gift for creative focus and joyous flight." -- Book jacket.
