"Who was she really - Lily Fazekas, the name she had used since childhood, or Ilona Kormany, the name on her newly discovered baptismal certificate? Joseph Varga knew something about Ilona and needed to know more. She was his clue to a man many people - and governments - wanted to get their hands on. He wasn't happy when he realized Lily was falling in love with him. He was a man of honor, and she was supposed to be only his pawn in an extremely dangerous game. But there was one problem. Whoever she was, Lily or Ilona, she was the woman he had dreamed of all his life." --Back cover.

The figure of Carmen has emerged as a cipher for the unfettered female artist. Dance historian and performance theorist Ninotchka Bennahum shows us Carmen as embodied historical archive, a figure through which we come to understand the promises and dangers of nomadic, transnational identity, and the immanence of performance as an expanded historical methodology. Bennahum traces the genealogy of the female Gypsy presence in her iconic operatic role from her genesis in the ancient Mediterranean world, her emergence as flamenco artist in the architectural spaces of Islamic Spain, her persistent manifestation in Picasso, and her contemporary relevance on stage. This many-layered geography of the Gypsy dancer provides the book with its unique nonlinear form that opens new pathways to reading performance and writing history. Includes rare archival photographs of Gypsy artists.

Born in Shanghai in 1931, Victor Vishnevsky is a Russian Lovara Rom by culture, an Iranian by citizenship, and a resident of Brazil.

Addressed directly to the reader, Vishnevsky's account is like a letter written to a friend.
