 The Circus Stealers【電子書籍】[ Stephen Keeler Keeler ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞"My guiltiest pleasure is Harry Stephen Keeler. He may been the greatest bad writer America has ever produced. Or perhaps the worst great writer. I do not know. There are few faults you can accuse him of that he is not guilty of. But I love him." -- Neil Gaiman＜/p＞ ＜p＞There's nothing new under the sun in Idiots' Valley, home of Harry Stephen Keeler's Screwball Circus. Angus MacWhorter's circus has made it across Old Twistibus -- the windingest road in the world -- but there's still an important wagon that Rance Holly has to drive to catch up with the rest of the circus in Foleysburg, or the circus will be lost to rival entrepreneur, Wolf Gladish. There's no nuttier place in the country than Idiots' Valley, with its pack of illiterate bumpkins, and Harry and Hazel milk it for all it's worth in this first English-language edition of a Keeler classic!＜/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。 | 296円 |

In Lima, an elephant can change the course of a man's lifeーor the manner of his death. Jennie Dixianna entices men with her dazzling Spin of Death and keeps them in line with secrets locked in a cedar box. The lonely wife of the show's manager has each room of her house painted like a sideshow banner, indulging her desperate passion for a young painter. And a former clown seeks consolation from his loveless marriage in his post-circus job at Clown Alley Cleaners. In this collection of linked stories spanning decades, Cathy Day follows the circus people into their everyday lives and brings the greatest show on earth to the page.＜br /＞ "[An] exquisite story collection." ー ＜em＞The Washington Post＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Often funny, always graceful, and rich with a mix of historical and imaginative detail." ーTim O'Brien, author of ＜em＞The Things They Carried＜/em＞＜br /＞ "Sublimely imaginative and affecting." ー ＜em＞The Boston Globe＜/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。 | 1,760円 |

 GREAT HORSEWOMEN OF THE 19TH CENTURY IN THE CIRCUS : and an Epilogue on Four Contemporary ?cuyeres Catherine Durand Henriquet, Eloise Schwarz King, G?raldine Katharina Knie, and Katja Schumann Binder【電子書籍】[ HILDA NELSON ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞"Circus was quite a serious thing in nineteenth and early twentieth century Europe. Edmond and Jules de Goncourt noted in their Journal "We go to only one theater--the Circus. There we see clowns, tumblers....there is no false exhibition of talent..." Balzac believed that a circus equestrienne was worth more respect than an actress, a prima ballerina or an opera prima donna. And indeed, equestrians were the kings of the circus--and equestriennes, its idolized queens. For horsemanship was important then. It was more than mere entertainment. Wars had been won by good horsemen. Horses were still man's most valuable partner in so many aspects of everyday life. And the circus had been created by and for equestrians...Nelson takes us to a wonderful, often surprising journey with the greatest circus equestriennes of the nineteenth century, who reigned with so much flair over the most prestigious rings of Europe...puts back the spotlight on these unjustly forgotten stars of the circus of yore...' Many of the moves illustrated are very familiar 'haute ecole' moves in classical dressage--piaffe, Spanish walk, passage; as well as the more esoteric 'airs above of the ground' most familiar today as performed by the Spanish Riding School in Vienna and the Cadre Noir in Saumur. These moves include the courbette, capriole, levade, pesade, etc. And these circuses were housed in grand, theatrical palaces, not movable tents; but in buildings as exquisite as the equestrians/equestriennes and their horses, a fitting setting for these memorable equine artists. Includes an extensive glossary. The book is further enhanced by an Epilogue containing an account of the equestrian accomplishments of four contemporary ?cuyeres: Catherine Durand Henriquet, Eloise Schwarz King, G?raldine Katharina Knie, and Katja Schumann Binder.＜/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。 | 4,150円 |

 Circus Maximus The Economic Gamble Behind Hosting the Olympics and the World Cup【電子書籍】[ Andrew Zimbalist ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Athletes compete for national honor in Olympic and World Cup games. But the road to these mega events is paved by big business. We all know who the winners on the field are-but who wins off the field?＜br /＞ The numbers are staggering: China spent $40 billion to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing and Russia spent $50 billion for the 2014 Sochi Winter Games. Brazil's total expenditures are thought to have been as much as $20 billion for the World Cup this summer and Qatar, which will be the site of the 2022 World Cup, is estimating that it will spend $200 billion.＜br /＞ How did we get here? And is it worth it? Those are among the questions noted sports economist Andrew Zimbalist answers in Circus Maximus: The Economic Gamble Behind Hosting the Olympics and the World Cup. Both the Olympics and the World Cup are touted as major economic boons for the countries that host them, and the competition is fierce to win hosting rights. Developing countries especially see the events as a chance to stand in the world's spotlight.＜br /＞ Circus Maximus traces the path of the Olympic Games and the World Cup from noble sporting events to exhibits of excess. It exposes the hollowness of the claims made by their private industry boosters and government supporters, all illustrated through a series of case studies ripping open the experiences of Barcelona, Sochi, Rio, and London. Zimbalist finds no net economic gains for the countries that have played host to the Olympics or the World Cup. While the wealthy may profit, those in the middle and lower income brackets do not, and Zimbalist predicts more outbursts of political anger like that seen in Brazil surrounding the 2014 World Cup.＜/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。 | 2,963円 |

 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 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。 | 961円 |
