Thank you very much,

I conclude that Piskounov use another convention for the root z^(1/3). 
He gives, for the graph of (2 x^2 - x^3)^(1/3) what I obtain with :

Plot[Piecewise[{{(2 x^2 - x^3)^(1/3), x <= 2}, {-Re[(2 x^2 - 
x^3)^(1/3)],  x > 2}}], {x, -1, 3}]

See : Calcul Differentiel et integral, N. Piskounov, Editions
MIR, Moscou 1970, on p. 210
