 Circus Days and Nights【電子書籍】[ Robert Lax ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Though many hold him to be one of the greatest American poets of this century, Lax has maintained a low profile, living and writing in seclusion on the Greek island of Patmos. In Circus Days & Nights, Lax's three great long poems on the circusー“Circus of the Sun,†? “Mogador's Book,†? and “Sunset City†?ーare collected together for the first time, placing this early masterwork in the position within American literature that it so richly deserves. Each of the three poems in this collection expresses a reverence for the acts of daring, beauty, and grace that make the circus the singular event it is. What also emerges is the drawing of a link between this world of the circusーwherein a tent is erected, acts are performed, and then the tent is disassembled only to be re-erected the next dayーand Lax's faith. As Denise Levertov has said, “the radiant security of Lax’s faith appears in his work as a serenity of tone.†?＜/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。 | 2,024円 |
 The Circus Age Culture and Society under the American Big Top【電子書籍】[ Janet M. Davis ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞A century ago, daily life ground to a halt when the circus rolled into town. Across America, banks closed, schools canceled classes, farmers left their fields, and factories shut down so that everyone could go to the show. In this entertaining and provocative book, Janet Davis links the flowering of the early-twentieth-century American railroad circus to such broader historical developments as the rise of big business, the breakdown of separate spheres for men and women, and the genesis of the United States' overseas empire. In the process, she casts the circus as a powerful force in consolidating the nation’s identity as a modern industrial society and world power.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Davis explores the multiple “shows” that took place under the big top, from scripted performances to exhibitions of laborers assembling and tearing down tents to impromptu spectacles of audiences brawling, acrobats falling, and animals rampaging. Turning Victorian notions of gender, race, and nationhood topsy-turvy, the circus brought its vision of a rapidly changing world to spectators ー rural as well as urban ー across the nation. Even today, Davis contends, the influence of the circus continues to resonate in popular representations of gender, race, and the wider world.＜/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 |

 Rock and Roll Meltdown The Circus Nightclub Story 1979 ? 1983【電子書籍】[ Rick Bandazian ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In 1979, rock and roll was in revolution. While FM radio covered the nation with a nonstop format of Fleetwood Mac, Foreigner, Kansas, Styx, Led Zeppelin, and more Fleetwood Mac, it was a different story in rock clubs all over America. In dingy, sweaty venues from LA to New York, punk rock and new wave bands were rewriting the story of rock and roll. And in New Jersey, the club scene was exploding as a result of the drinking age having been lowered to eighteen just a few years earlier. By this time, the rock and roll storm had already been brewing for several years. From Ramsey to Carteret, from Hoboken and Fort Lee, to the little town of Bergenfield, it was a time of great clubs and even greater music. Brothers Rick and Jack ? barely out of their teens themselves ? and their dad, Jack Sr., opened one of the premiere rock clubs in the New York metropolitan area. They had to hustle and learn the ropes quickly while dealing with underage drinkers, nightly fights, the out of control drug scene, local authorities, and a pool of seasoned sharks that were controlling the entertainment industry. Cyndi Lauper, The Ramones, Papa John Creach, New Riders of the Purple Sage, John Kay and Steppenwolf, Johnny Thunders, Twisted Sister, David Johansen, Robert Hunter, Rick Danko, Joe Perry, Steve Forbert; they were all there, live on stage and in your face. The cover bands and tribute acts that performed up and down the East Coast were phenomenal too, sometimes even outdrawing the recording artists. This book chronicles those times, and gives a first-hand account of a club owner's recollections of that famed era, and the fallen rock scene that followed. You'll be captivated by interviews with band members, rock fans, and former employees, who witnessed this special time in rock history, who tell their story as only they can. The author places you in the front row and gives you a peek behind the curtain of a rock club at the center of this revolution.＜/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。 | 1,627円 |

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.

 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.

 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。 | 691円 |
 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 |
 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 |
