À propos de ce contenu audio

Bloomsbury presents Dancer by Colum McCann, read by Dion Graham.

Remarkable ... nimble, lyrical and wispy' Sunday Times
'An utterly riveting, frequently moving, and staggeringly well-written book' Daily Mail
'Breathtaking' Guardian
________________________
This novel opens on a battlefield: trudging back from the front through a ravaged and icy wasteland, their horses dying around them, their own hunger rendering them almost savage, the Russian soldiers are exhausted as they reach the city of Ufa, desperate for food and shelter.

They find both, and then music and dance. And there, spinning unafraid among them, dancing for the soldiers and anyone else who'll watch him, is one small pale boy, Rudolf. This is Colum McCann's dancer: Rudolf, a prodigy at six years old, who became the greatest dancer of the century, who redefined dance, rewrote his own life, and died of AIDS before anyone knew he had it.

This is an extraordinary life transformed into extraordinary fiction by one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation. One kind of masculine grace is perfectly matched to another in Colum McCann's beautiful and daring new novel.

I will not lie and tell I bought this book for my pleasure. I did it because we were studying the novel at university and Audible really helped me to get through it.
For the less that I knew about Rudolf Nureyev, this novel gave the main aspect of this man's life. Even if it is not a biography, it deals with context, places and personalities Rudi was surrounded by.

A little something to approach McCann

I liked the narrator and the characters. I also liked the way homosexualité was introduced.
