Li Cunxin
Mao's Last Dancer
Viking Scoresby VIC Australia 2003. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Good. Trade Paperback. 445 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: Viking Scoresby VIC Australia 2003. Reprint. CONDITION: This book is in good condition. More specifically: . Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: The true story of a poor Chinese peasant boy who plucked unsuspectingly at the age of ten from millions of others across the land to be trained as a ballet dancer turned the situation to his advantage to become one of the world's greatest ballet stars. Li tells his story with charm and simplicity with humour and compassion and at times with great drama. His childhood is drawn despite the terrible hardships with love and affection as we share in the lives of Li and his large family. This contrasts starkly with the seven lonely years of gruelling training at the Peking Dance Academy and more starkly again when Li is selected at age 18 to perform at the Houston Ballet's summer school which led to a dramatic defection. He could never return to his family and his courage in the face of extreme loneliness his determination to succeed and his commitment and self-discipline make an awesome inspiring and moving story that should speak to readers of all ages everywhere. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Biography & Autobiography; ISBN: 067004024X. ISBN/EAN: 9780670040247. Inventory No: 24021015. 9780670040247 Viking paperback
