Book excerpt: The Brewer Family is very wealthy, wealthy in terms of resourcefulness, cohesion, loyalty, and love -- the things that really matter. Can their circus survive another season in the heart of the Great Depression, a season when townspeople are poorer then ever and the Dust Bowl is covering some of their best towns? The Brewers and the diverse people they hire are skilled performers, and their performing elephants, horses and menagerie of exotic animals are a big draw. The Depression is at its worst, and people want escape from their dreary lives more than ever. The Brewers try to provide enough fantasy and glamor to get enough people into the bigtop and enough money so that the show can go on.

Book excerpt: Welcome to a world of sneaky elephants and high-jumping horses, of trick ropers, escaped ostriches, and Indian dancers. There is a grandmother who tells fortunes and a grandson who rides Roman style. But what goes on behind the scenes is even more fascinating. Brewer Brothers Circus is owned and operated by Gypsies, ethnic Gypsies, their own tribe of people who speak a strange dialect. But they can never risk prejudice by admitting their heritage. They are key performers on the show along with seventy people from all over the world. Getting over bad roads to do two shows a day with a smile is just a norm. It is the time of the Great Depression, that sad period in American history. Lines of hungry hobos wait at soup kitchens. People crave escape from their dreary lives. They shell out nickels and dimes to see a circus full of wonder and surprise. It's a once-a-year opportunity.Every day a new town brings new hopes and challenges, maybe with good cops or maybe with bad cops. The Brewers know how to turn bad luck into a publicity stunt and how to negotiate tricky border crossings so that the show can go on. The family is the key to success and survival, first the Gypsy family, and then the larger family of show folks they have hired. They are all trying to stick together in a world falling apart.The author weaves together stories of his own family and ancestors, stories heard in his childhood around a fire when it was way past bedtime. The product himself of a Gypsy heritage and a circus childhood, he takes the reader back to the decade before he was born, the Depression years, when the stories were the best, when it sometimes seemed hopeless, when a relentless eye on opportunity was the order of the day. He interprets these stories for people who aren't Gypsies and who never put up a circus bigtop. It will soon be a century since this world was real, but the people must never be forgotten. The stories must never die.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do Adolf Hitler, Mahatma Gandhi, and Ed Sullivan have in common? Ottavio Canestrelli crossed paths with each. He performed with the Krone Circus in Italy and Germany from 1922 to 1924 on the eve of Hitler's rise to power; he witnessed a rally for Mahatma Gandhi in India in 1931; and he appeared twice on the Ed Sullivan Show during the 1960s.

It shares memories of life in the circus, filled with daring feats and tragic mishaps. With over one hundred and seventy historical photographs included, this memoir chronicles a circus dynasty from the late nineteenth-century in Europe to the new millennium in the United States.

Book Synopsis Satan's Circus (Fantasy and Horror Classics) by : Lady Eleanor Smith
Download or read book Satan's Circus (Fantasy and Horror Classics) written by Lady Eleanor Smith and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Satan's Circus" is a collection of ghost stories written by English writer Lady Eleanor Smith, first published in 1932. Lady Eleanor Furneaux Smith (1902 - 1945) was an English writer, society reporter and cinema reviewer, and a publicist for circuses. It was the latter that led her to travel widely and inspired her third career, which was writing fiction. Most of her work had a romanticised historical or Gypsy setting, influenced by her own Romany family ties, and her work provided the foundation for the 'Gainsborough melodramas' of the time. Other notable works by this author include: "Red Wagon" (1930), "Tzigane" (1935), and "The Man in Grey" (1941). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Book Synopsis European Roma by : Professor Eve Rosenhaft
Download or read book European Roma written by Professor Eve Rosenhaft and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. This book, designed as a resource for scholars, educators, activists and non-specialist readers, presents the results of new research on the role of Romani groups in European culture and society since the nineteenth century. Its specific focus is on the ways in which Romani actors, in their interactions with non-Romanies, have contributed to shaping Europe’s public spaces. Twelve chapters recount the experiences and accomplishments of individuals and families, from across Europe (England, France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Finland) and Canada. All based on new research, and maintaining a focus on the real lives and activities of Romani people rather than on the perspective of the majority societies, these studies exemplify the creative presence of Romani people in the fields of politics, economics and culture. We see them as writers, artists and performers, political activists and resistance fighters, traders and entrepreneurs, circus and cinema managers and purveyors of popular science. Sensitive to the ambivalent position from which Roma act, the cases are linked and contextualized by a general introduction and by section introductions written by leading scholars of Romani studies with expertise in history, ethnography, musicology, literary and discourse studies and visual culture. The volume is richly illustrated, including many images that have never been published before, and includes an extensive bibliography / guide to further reading. Contributors to the volume: Begoña Barrera, Beatriz Carrillo de los Reyes, Malte Gasche, Paweł Lechowski, Anna G. Piotrowska, Laurence Prempain, Juan Pro, Eve Rosenhaft, Carolina García Sanz, María Sierra, and Tamara West.

Book Synopsis The End and the Beginning by : Hermynia Zur Mühlen
Download or read book The End and the Beginning written by Hermynia Zur Mühlen and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in Germany in 1929, The End and the Beginning is a lively personal memoir of a vanished world and of a rebellious, high-spirited young woman's struggle to achieve independence. Born in 1883 into a distinguished and wealthy aristocratic family of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire, Hermynia Zur Muhlen spent much of her childhood travelling in Europe and North Africa with her diplomat father. After five years on her German husband's estate in czarist Russia she broke with both her family and her husband and set out on a precarious career as a professional writer committed to socialism. Besides translating many leading contemporary authors, notably Upton Sinclair, into German, she herself published an impressive number of politically engaged novels, detective stories, short stories, and children's fairy tales. Because of her outspoken opposition to National Socialism, she had to flee her native Austria in 1938 and seek refuge in England, where she died, virtually penniless, in 1951. This revised and corrected translation of Zur Muhlen's memoir - with extensive notes and an essay on the author by Lionel Gossman - will appeal especially to readers interested in women's history, the Central European aristocratic world that came to an end with the First World War, and the culture and politics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Book Synopsis Women and the Media by : Maggie Andrews
Download or read book Women and the Media written by Maggie Andrews and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The media have played a significant role in the contested and changing social position of women in Britain since the 1900s. They have facilitated feminism by both providing discourses and images from which women can construct their identities, and offering spaces where hegemonic ideas of femininity can be reworked. This volume is intended to provide an overview of work on Broadcasting, Film and Print Media from 1900, while appealing to scholars of History and Media, Film and Cultural Studies. This edited collection features tightly focused and historically contextualised case studies which showcase current research on women and media in Britain since the 1900s. The case studies explore media directed at a particularly female audience such as Woman’s Hour, and magazines such as Vogue, Woman and Marie Claire. Women who work in the media, issues of production, and regulation are discussed alongside the representation of women across a broad range of media from early 20th-century motorcycling magazines, Page 3 and regional television news.
