These are memories of an outstanding Russian ballet dancer Matilda Kshesinskaya which cover a large period of her life and activities. In spite of the fact that the memories were written when the author was over 80 and lived abroad, her brilliant memory restored events of 50 years back. Besides, peculiar facts that Kshesinskaya had an affair with the Russian crown prince and later married one of the greatest dukes add interest to her memories. Historical figures are changed by representatives of the artistic circle, superb performances and celebrations, cities and countries alternate in the book creating a brilliant and dramatic life of the aristocratic ballet dancer. The book is supplied with a number of illustrations.
