Professor Risley and the Imperial Japanese Troupe How an American Acrobat Introduced Circus to Japan--and Japan to the West【電子書籍】[ Frederik L. Schodt ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>The little-known true story of how a flamboyant circus promoter helped introduce Japan to the West in the late 19th century.</strong></p> <p>"Professor" Risley (Richard Risley Carlisle) introduced the Western circus to Japan in 1864. Three years later, this former acrobat gave many in the West their first glimpse of Japan when he took his "Imperial Japanese Troupe" of acrobats and jugglers on a triumphant tour of North America and Europe. Over the next few years, the Troupe performed before presidents, monarchs, and ordinary citizens.</p> <p>Frederik L. Schodt argues compellingly that such early popular entertainments helped stir a curiosity about all things Japanese that eventually led to japonisme, <em>The Mikado</em>, and, in our time, the boom in manga and anime. Schodt's depiction of Risley and his troupe is enlivened by portraits of the circus demimonde and supported by nineteenth-century photographs, posters, and drawings, many in color.</p> <p>His accounts of these first meetings between Westerners and Japanese shed new light on how different cultures meet, mingle, and influence each other. Descriptions of crowds, dazzling routines, and superstar troupe performers like the famous Little All Right are a delightful revelation to anyone interested in Asia, the circus, and popular entertainment.</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。 2,598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

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

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

Circus Life and Circus Celebrities Enriched edition. Beneath the Big Top: Secrets of Circus Performers and Showbiz Stars【電子書籍】[ Thomas Frost ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Circus Life and Circus Celebrities," Thomas Frost crafts a vivid tableau of the captivating yet perilous world of the circus in the late 19th century. With a rich narrative style that intertwines anecdote and observation, Frost delves into the lives of performers, from acrobats to animal trainers, portraying their triumphs and tribulations against a backdrop of societal fascination. The book not only explores the spectacle of the circus but also addresses the underlying realism of its often harsh conditions, making it a valuable contribution to the genre of literary realism in Victorian literature, reflecting the period's complex relationship with entertainment and the marginalized. Frost, a keen observer and chronicler of popular culture, brings a unique perspective to this work, having been immersed in the circus world himself through his extensive journalistic endeavors. His familiarity with the intricacies of circus life, coupled with his commitment to social commentary, informed his depiction of the characters who juggle both fame and hardship.

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。 3,386円

Circus Mania The Ultimate Book For Anyone Who Dreamed of Running Away to the Circus【電子書籍】[ Douglas McPherson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The circus has been with us since Roman times, but centuries later, the circus world has never been more diverse and captivating, the global success of Cirque du Soleil testament to its enduring and universal appeal. In Britain alone, there are traditional family circuses for kids and arty cirque-style shows for adults, circuses in tents and circuses in theatres, circuses with animals and circuses without, the Circus of Horrors for clubbers, the comedy-based Circus Hilarious and cabaret-style hybrids on the burlesque circuit. What they all have in common is the extraordinary skills, dedication and lifestyle of the circus breed: a unique strain of performers who blend the discipline of sports stars with the razzmatazz of showbiz; itinerant but clannish entertainers who have often had circus blood in their families for generations; world class gymnasts who risk death twice daily, serve on the tea stand in between and help take down the big top afterwards.</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。 1,440円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>"A valuable and illuminating read, shedding a lot of light on the political, economic and technological factors that have driven circus evolution" ( <em>The Circus Diaries</em>).</strong></p> <p><em>Beneath the Big Top</em> is a social history of the circus, from its ancient roots to the rise of the "modern" tented travelling shows. A performer and founder of a circus group, Steve Ward draws on eyewitness accounts and contemporary interviews to explore the triumphs and disasters of the circus world. He reveals the stories beneath the big top during the golden age of the circus and the lives of circus folk, which were equally colorful outside the ring:</p> <p>? Pablo Fanque, Britain's first black circus proprietor<br /> ? The Chipperfield dynasty, who started out in 1684 on the frozen Thames<br /> ? Katie Sandwina, world's strongest woman and part-time crime-fighter<br /> ? The Sylvain brothers, who fell in love with the same woman in the ring</p> <p>"As a former circus performer and now teacher and circus professional I thoroughly enjoyed this book!! The Circus has such a rich history and Steve does an amazing job at not only chronicling it but also telling entertaining and wonderful stories throughout. The photos are also amazing!!

Monty Python's Flying Circus An Utterly Complete, Thoroughly Unillustrated, Absolutely Unauthorized Guide to Possibly All the References【電子書籍】[ Darl Larsen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In 1969, the BBC aired the first episode of a new comedy series titled Monty Python's Flying Circus, and the rest, as they say, is history. An instant success, the show ran until 1974, producing a total of 45 episodes. Despite the show's very English humor and allusions to many things British, the series developed a cult following outside the U.K., particularly in the United States. Known for its outrageous humor, occasionally controversial content, and often silly spirit, Monty Python's Flying Circus poked fun at nearly all institutionsーdomestic or foreign, grand or intimate, sacred or not. Indeed, many of the allusions and references in the program were uniquely British and routinely obscure, and therefore, not always understood or even noticed outside the British Isles.</p> <p>This exhaustive reference identifies and explains the plethora of cultural, historical, and topical allusions of this landmark series. In this resource, virtually every allusion and reference that appeared in an episodeーwhether stated by a character, depicted in the mise-en-scene, or mentioned in the printed scriptsーis identified and explained. Organized chronologically by episode, each entry is listed alphabetically, indicates what sketch it appeared in, and is cross-referenced between episodes. Entries cover literary and metaphoric allusions, symbolisms, names, peoples, and places; as well as the myriad social, cultural, and historical elements (photos, songs, slogans, caricatures) that populate and inform these episodes.</p> <p>Entries Include:<br /> ・"Arabella Plunkett"<br /> ・Group of famous characters from famous paintings<br /> ・Hell's Grannies<br /> ・HRH The Dummy Princess Margaret<br /> ・"Kandinsky"<br /> ・"On the Dad's Liver Bachelors at Large"<br /> ・Raymond Baxter type<br /> ・Scun<br /> ・"Spanish Inquisition"<br /> ・"Third Parachute Brigade Amateur Dramatic Society"<br /> ・"total cashectomy"<br /> ・"Two-Sheds"<br /> ・"Umbonga's hostile opening"<br /> ・Vicar sitting thin and unhappy in a pot<br /> ・"What's all this then?"</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。 11,030円
