<p>****FINALIST for the Lambda LGBTQ+ Speculative Fiction Award 2023**</p> <p><em>A circus takes down a crime-boss on the galaxy’s infamous pleasure moon.</em>**</p> <p>Hunted by those who want to study his gravity powers, Jes makes his way to the best place for a mixed-species fugitive to blend in: the pleasure moon where everyone just wants to be lost in the party. It doesn’t take long for him to catch the attention of the crime boss who owns the resort-casino where he lands a circus job, and when the boss gets wind of the bounty on Jes’ head, he makes an offer: do anything and everything asked of him or face vivisection.</p> <p>With no other options, Jes fulfills the requests: espionage, torture, demolition. But when the boss sets the circus up to take the fall for his about-to-get-busted narcotics operation, Jes and his friends decide to bring the mobster down. And if Jes can also avoid going back to being the prize subject of a scientist who can’t wait to dissect him? Even better.</p> <p><em>File Under:</em> <strong>Science Fiction</strong> [ Misfit Fits In | Crime Never Pays | Loop The Loops | Balancing Act ]</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Circus Bodies Cultural Identity in Aerial Performance【電子書籍】[ Peta Tait ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This pioneering study is one of the major publications in the increasingly popular and largely undocumented area of circus studies.</p> <p>Through photographs and illustrations, Peta Tait presents an extraordinary survey of 140 years of trapeze acts and the socially changing ideas of muscular action in relation to our understanding of gender and sexuality. She questions how spectators see and enjoy aerial actions, and what cultural identities are presented by bodies in fast, physical aerial movement.</p> <p>Adeptly locating aerial performance within the wider cultural history of bodies and their identities, <em>Circus Bodies</em> explores this subject through a range of films such as <em>Trapeze</em> (1956) and <em>Wings of Desire</em> (1987) and Tait also examines live performances including:</p> <p>* the first trapeze performers: L?otard and the Hanlon Brothers<br /> * female celebrities; Azella, Sanyeah, black French aerialist LaLa, the infamous Leona Dare, and the female human cannonballs<br /> * twentieth-century gender benders; Barbette and Luisita Leers<br /> * the Codonas, Concellos, Gaonas, Vazquez and Pages troupes<br /> * imaginative aerial acts in Cirque de Soleil and Circus Oz productions.</p> <p>This book will prove an invaluable resource for all students and scholars interested in this fascinating field.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Small Circus【電子書籍】[ Hans Fallada ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A powerful 1931 portrayal of a German town on the brink of chaos, from bestselling author Hans Fallada (writer of <em>Alone in Berlin</em>)</strong></p> <p>It is summer, 1929, and in a small German town a storm is brewing. The shabby reporter Tredup leads a precarious existence working for the Pomeranian Chronicle - until he takes some photographs that offer the chance to make a fortune. In Kr?ger's bar, the farmers are plotting their revenge on greedy officials. A mysterious travelling salesman from Berlin , Henning, is stirring up trouble - but no one knows why. Meanwhile the Nazis grow stronger and the Communists fight them in the streets. And at the centre of it all, the Mayor, 'Fatty' Gareis, seeks the easy life even as events spiral beyond his control.</p> <p>As tensions erupt between workers and bosses, town and country, Left and Right, alliances are broken, bribes are taken and plots are hatched, until the tension spills over into violence.</p> <p>'Uncommonly vivid and original' Robert Musil</p> <p>'Real love and real humanity' Hermann Hesse</p> <p>'The best account of small-town Germany ... so terribly genuine, it is frightening' Kurt Tucholsky</p> <p>'This novel's genius ... lies in Fallada's ability to reveal ... as well as to analyse the macabre game of musical chairs that was the Weimar Republic. Fallada gives us front-row seats to Germany's decade-long quest for a sacrificial scapegoat that culminated in the Nazi takeover ... Two years after <em>Alone in</em> <em>Berlin</em>'s runaway success, <em>A Small Circus</em> continues the Fallada revival that owes so much to the efforts of its translator, the poet Michael Hofmann' Andr? Naffis-Sahely, <em>Independent</em></p> <p>'Fallada creates characters with Dickensian prodigality, each yokel, hack, pig and pen-pusher brought to life in Michael Hofmann's beautifully judged translation ... a generous, life-affirming treat' Jake Kerridge, <em>Telegraph</em></p> <p>'Michael Hofmann ... comes as close as possible to giving us Fallada's work in all its coarse, humorous, immediate, tragic glory' Charlotte Moore, <em>Spectator</em></p> <p>'Not for the first time, all praise is due to Michael Hofmann's art and feel for nuance. His translation catches the many voices - some exasperated, others bewildered, a few downright angry - that make this bold, exuberant and candid narrative sizzle with life and the relentlessly shocking reality of it all' <em>Irish Times</em></p> <p>'Fallada's own experiences as a regional journalist in north Germany underlie the action, and it is this sense of realism, combined with an ear for dialogue and an acute understanding of human frailty, that make the novel such an authentic portrayal of an imploding era' Ben Hutchinson, <em>Observer</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Circus【電子書籍】[ Stephen J Bannister ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Circus is a story that dives headlong into a maelstromーone man's journey (Marcus Morrissey Argent) from certainty to chaos, a life unravelled by the police, the media, friends and family, before courtroom lights and under the scrutiny of a world quick to judge but slow to understand. Circus does not merely recount a sequence of events; it lingers in the moments of doubt, the echoes of conversations, the silent reckonings that shift the soul. This is not just a story of loss, but of how quickly the scaffolding of privilege and comfort can be torn away, leaving only raw questions and the ache of memory for what he has lost.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Art of Collectivity Social Circus and the Cultural Politics of a Post-Neoliberal Vision【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Amidst epidemics of youth alienation and cultural polarization, community-based artistic practices are sprouting up around the world as antidotes to policies of austerity and social exclusion. Rejecting the radical individualism of the neoliberal era, many artistic projects promote collectivity and togetherness in navigating challenges and constructing shared futures.</p> <p><em>The Art of Collectivity</em> is about how one such creative social program deployed this approach in service of a post-neoliberal vision. Focusing on a national social circus initiative launched by a newly elected Ecuadorean government to help actualize its “citizens' revolution,” the book explores the intersection between global cultural politics, participatory arts, collective health, and social transformation. The authors include scholars and practitioners of community arts, humanities, social sciences, and health sciences from the Global North and Global South. Sensitive to hierarchical binaries such as research/practice, north/south, and art/science, they work together to provide a multifaceted analysis of the way cultural politics shape policy, pedagogy, and aesthetic sensibilities, as well as their socio-cultural and health-related effects.</p> <p>The largest study of social circus to date, combining detailed quantitative, qualitative, and arts-based research, <em>The Art of Collectivity</em> is a timely contribution to the study of cultural policies, critical pedagogies, collective art-making, and community development.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

General Leemy's Circus: A Navigator's Story Of The Twentieth Air Force In World War II [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ Earl A. Snyder ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Includes The Bombing Of Japan During World War II illustrations pack with 120 maps, plans, and photos<br /> THIS IS the dramatic, uninhibited account of the human side of the air war in the Pacific and of the men who flew the Superforts, the B-29s of General Curtis LeMay's XXI Bomber Command, straight to the heart of Japan.<br /> Earl Snyder was a navigator on the B-29 Umbriago-Dat's My Boy, and took part in the first B-29 raid on Tokyo. But, he recalls nervously, his crew didn't drop their bombs on the Japanese capital, because at 29,000 feet the air was so cold that the bomb-release mechanism had frozen. "Umbriago" made it back to the base at Saipan with the fuel gauges registering "less than empty."<br /> This is not a biography of General LeMayーor "General Leemy," as the Japs called himーit's the story of the airmen who carried out his orders, flew the missions and lived or died without asking "too many questions."<br /> General Leemy's Circus is a tribute to those men and, at the same time, an exciting record of their everyday lives. Writing with stark realism, Snyder hands the reader a share of the dangers and thrills, the devil-may-care, sometimes hilarious, adventures of men without women, and of the sordidness and the glory of air war.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Women of the American Circus, 1880-1940【電子書籍】[ Katherine H. Adams ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>During the years 1880 to 1940, the glory days of the American circus, a third to a half of the cast members were women--a large group of very visible American workers whose story needs telling. This book, using sources such as diaries, autobiographies, newspaper accounts, films, posters, and route books, first considers the popular media's presentation of these performers as unnatural and scandalous--as well as romantic and thrilling. Next are the stories told by circus women, which contradict and complicate other versions of their lives. Across America in those years an array of acts featured women, such as tableaux, freak shows, girlie shows, tiger acts, and aerial performances, all involving special skills and all detailed here. The book offers a unique and fascinating view of not just the circus but of what it meant to be an American woman at work.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Flea Circus【電子書籍】[ Mandy Keifetz ]

<p><strong>After Izzy’s lover Tim, an entomologist and ringmaster of a flea circus, makes an Irish exit out the airshaft window, she oscillates between madness and reason, failing to make any sense of it.</strong></p> <p>Staggering from the gut punch, she serves the drunks at Tim’s brother’s dockside bar, takes up with a purveyor of flea-breeding equipment who asks no questions, and slowly loses her grip.

The Ways of the Circus Being the Memories and Adventures of George Conklin, Tamer of Lions【電子書籍】[ George Conklin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>"The Ways of the Circus not only justifies an early desire to run away with circus, but makes it a matter for regret that we did not." -Waco Times-Herald, Feb. 21, 1921</strong></p> <p><strong>"The Ways of the Circus is a decidedly readable book rich in anecdotes of the life of circus folk and circus animals. The narrator is an old lion tamer." -New York Tribune, April 4, 1921</strong></p> <p><strong>"A most fascinating narrative." - The Open Road</strong></p> <p><strong>"Exciting, dramatic, humorous, and entertaining." -Harper's Magazine</strong></p> <p><strong>"A most entertaining book, with lurid fascination." -The Freeman</strong></p> <p>George Conklin's 1921 book "The Ways of the Circus" is devoted to the author's stories and reminiscences of circus people, circus animals, a curious world with men, manners and morals peculiar to itself, and describe feats ranging from the handling of a lion to the tricks of sideshow freaks and the making of circus lemonade, written by one of the most famous of the old time circus lion tamers who traveled with most of the big "shows" of his day. He was with the Barnum and Bailey show when it made its famous five year tour of Europe, and is especially interesting in reminiscences of that period.</p> <p>For nearly half a century George Conklin was a tamer of lions and animal trainer in general. He joined the circus when it was a wagon show and saw it grow into the wonder of railroad Pullman car efficiency. Every chapter has its wealth of incident and anecdote of things behind the scenes in the little caravan shows of an earlier generation and the mammoth consolidated shows of our time. In reading Conklin's reminiscences one acquires a picture of the patient, iron-nerved dare-devils who train the wild beasts, and of that daily encounter with uncertain hazards, where life is cheap and death is gaudy. The hard knocks, the cruel taskmasters, and the hectic nocturnal flights are set forth with vivid detail.</p> <p>As a lion trainer he leaped into the lions' cage with whip and pistol, and made the lions and the leopards go through their tricks.</p> <p>In describing the dangers of lion attack, Conklin writes:</p> <p>"While I presume I have handled more lions than anyone else in the United States, only once was I ever hurt by one enough to lay me up. I never knew for certain just what caused him to do it-whether I backed up too close to him or accidentally stepped on his tail or what-but at any rate, as I was doing this waltz act one of the lions in back of me suddenly reached out and bit me clear through the thigh. I reached round and struck him over the head with the butt of my whip as hard as I could..."</p> <p>Another time, Conklin relates:</p> <p>?"An elephant man by the name of Cooley, who had seen the trouble, advised Whittle to go back into the cage at once and conquer the lion. This was bad advice, but Whittle took it. The second time he attempted to come out the lion sprang again..."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

I Write Our Traffickers Hate Letters With My Menstrual Blood【電子書籍】[ Cyanide Circus ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Please be aware that I wrote this story in first person to allow my readers to read it as if experiencing it from their own perspective. This is not a pleasant story to read and though it may be fictional human trafficking is a real life horror that is still happening every day, this story was extremely painful yet cathartic for me to write. Some of these situations are actually non fictional and have actually happened to me and others close to me who have been trafficked.</p> <p>I intentionally wrote this book in first person with no specific gender because I feel it is important to assert that anyone can be trafficked. If you feel safe referring to reading this book as my experiences as an author (F) that is OK too, whatever feels more comfortable.</p> <p>Please do not read this book if you are triggered by graphic descriptions of non consensual sexual activity or if you are healing from your own triggers. If you feel triggered at any time please stop reading and look after yourself, I had to take a break from writing this book several times.</p> <p>Please be aware this book does not glorify sex work or romanticize sexual assault or abuse, this is not intended to be a "kink/fetish" work and my focus for this book is to write about how fucked up human trafficking really is and how it is still an issue in our world.</p> <p>This book is not intended to be anti sex work, if you are a sex worker who has only had good, consensual experiences with clients who made you feel safe and you can work from the safety of somewhere you feel safe, power to you. This book isn't about those sex workers. If you are a sex worker who is safe, makes an income and has never had their identity doxed, been stalked or harmed in any way I am glad that you are earning an income while keeping safe.</p> <p>That being said, the "happy" sex workers I have known have been stalked, harassed and in case it isn't clear by now it isn't actually the sex workers who are at fault. It is the system, it is the fact that punters can be incredibly violent, scary and entitled towards sex workers.</p> <p>This book is about the sex workers who can fall into the trap of being trafficked, may be new to the industry, make mistakes and ultimately shining the light on some of the dangers and huge risks. This book is about the sex workers who have entered the industry through coerican, financial hardship and are trafficked and unable to leave.</p> <p>I wrote this book after following The Nordic Model and reading about some of the horrible first hand The experiences that young women (some way beneath the legal age of consent) had in the industry. In my previous book "Cam Girl Horror Story" I shared some of my own experiences in camming and I have since supported the Nordic Model.</p> <p>Whatever your thoughts are on sex work, I have no desire to change. If you've made it this far and haven't put this book down in a huff I invite you to read on. Once again, if at anytime you feel uncomfortable or triggered by any of the content in my book please stop reading. Please look after yourself and do what you must for yourself as I had to do while writing this book.This was probably the hardest book I've written because it was so triggering and upsetting to write.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Circus or, Moira Orfei in Aigues-Mortes: A Novel【電子書籍】[ Wayne Koestenbaum ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A new edition of a “dazzlingly seductive” fever dream written in “brilliant poetic vernacular” (<em>Bookforum</em>) by a beloved poet and cultural critic, now with an introduction by Rachel Kushner.</strong></p> <p>For five years, concert pianist Theo Mangrove has been living at his family’s home in East Kill, New York, recovering from a nervous breakdown that derailed his career, and attempting to relieve his relentless polysexual appetite in the company of male hustlers, random strangers, music students, his aunt, and occasionally his wife. As he prepares for a comeback recital in Aigues-Mortes, a walled medieval town in southern France, he becomes obsessed with the idea that the Italian circus star Moira Orfei must join him there to perform alongside him.</p> <p>Extravagantly (and tragicomically) describing his hallucinatory plans in a series of twenty-five notebooks, he assembles an incantatory meditation on performance, failure, fame, decay, and delusion.</p> <p><strong>"If Debussy and Robert Walser had collaborated on an opera, it would sound like this. --John Ashbery</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Wonders Lifting the Curtain on the Freak Show, Circus and Victorian Age【電子書籍】[ John Woolf ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>'A promising young historian with a taste for the exotic.' Stephen Fry The Wonders is a radical new history of the Victorian age: meet the forgotten and extraordinary freak performers whose talents and disabilities helped define an era. On 23 March, 1844, General Tom Thumb, at 25 inches tall, entered the Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace and bowed low to Queen Victoria. On both sides of the Atlantic, this meeting marked a tipping point in the nineteenth century ? the age of the freak was born. Bewitching all levels of society, it was a world of astonishing spectacle ? of dwarfs, giants, bearded ladies, Siamese twins and swaggering showmen ? and one that has since inspired countless novels, films and musicals. But the real stories (human dramas that so often eclipsed the fantasy presented on the stage), of the performing men, women and children, have been forgotten or marginalized in the histories of the very people who exploited them. In this richly evocative account, Dr John Woolf uses a wealth of recently discovered material to bring to life the sometimes tragic, sometimes triumphant, always extraordinary stories of people who used their (dis)abilities and difference to become some of the first international celebrities. And through their lives we discover afresh some of the great transformations of the age: the birth of showbusiness, of celebrity, of advertising, of ‘alternative facts’; while also exploring the tensions between the power of fame, the impact of exploitation and our fascination with ‘otherness’.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
