"Mais qu'allais-je trouver de l'autre c�t� de la barri�re, ici en Europe ? Je me retrouverais seul, mais pas de la fa�on que j'affectionnais : ce serait la solitude totale. Cette nouvelle libert� me semblait bien sombre. Je savais pourtant que c'�tait l� le seul choix possible, parce qu'il m'offrait l'espoir de construire quelque chose qui me corresponde, l'espoir d'apprendre, d'observer par moi-m�me, de grandir..." En 1962, alors que la guerre froide atteint son apog�e, le jeune Russe Rudolf Noureev �blouit l'Occident par son art et devient en quelques mois une star de renomm�e internationale. C'est le moment que ce danseur de 25 ans choisit pour publier le t�moignage de ses jeunes ann�es, depuis son enfance difficile en URSS jusqu'� son passage fracassant � l'Ouest, tout juste un an auparavant. L'ancienne �toile du ballet sovi�tique du Kirov en passe de devenir une superstar occidentale se livre enti�rement dans ce texte, qui mettra plus de cinquante ans � �tre �dit� en France. Toute la personnalit� de Noureev y figure d�j�, avec ce caract�re entier et volontaire, source de m�lancolie, mais aussi atout essentiel pour oser transgresser l'autorit� familiale, politique et artistique de son temps.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
