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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Switzerland's exceptional scenic beauty of valleys, lakes, and mountains, its central location on international trade routes, and its world famous banking system are just a few elements that have contributed to its rise in the global market. This relatively small nation is actively engaged in the maintenance of peace among nations and at the forefront of technological research. Consisting of twenty-six member states, called cantons, the history of the Swiss Confederation is as rich and varied as its culture and people. The Historical Dictionary of Switzerland features the nation's multicultural and democratic traditions and institutions, its complex history, and its people's involvement in past and present world affairs. This is done through a list of abbreviations and acronyms, a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, maps, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions, as well as significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects. This informative, concise, and accurate reference corrects the numerous false impressions of this important country.

Download or read book The Scholar Gypsy written by Anthony Sampson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a child, Anthony Sampson was haunted by a family skeleton. He knew his grandfather John Sampson had been an authority on the gypsies. They had called him the Rai - the Master - and had flocked to his magnificent funeral on a Welsh mountain. But of his grandfather's private life he was told nothing, nor of the mysterious aunt who joined the family after his death. In fact only sixty years later did the truth begin to emerge. This book follows a trail of clues to uncover an extraordinary hidden life and a gypsy world now disappeared. John Sampson was a brilliant philologist who, happening to encounter a gypsy tribe in North Wales, compiled over thirty years a dictionary of the Romani language that remains the standard work. But he also became a Bohemian himself, a bigamist and the father of a child who was brought up secretly and who would in turn become a remarkable scholar. Using intimate letters, bawdy rhymes and wonderful illustrations- including many by Augustus John who was part of the circle - Anthony Sampson brings to life a group of scholars, writers and painters who escaped Victorian convention to pursue an alternative life in the Welsh hills. The Scholar Gypsy is both a detective story and a moving voyage of discovery. Ranging through finely observed contrasts and connections it illuminates many lesser-known aspects of Victorian and Edwardian Britain and vividly conveys the spell that gypsies cast on the imagination of artists and writers, and the fear that they arouse among the conventional.

Book excerpt: Meet the Melendys! The four Melendy children live with their father and Cuffy, their beloved housekeeper, in a worn but comfortable brownstone in New York City. There's thirteen-year-old Mona, who has decided to become an actress; twelve-year-old mischievous Rush; ten-and-a-half-year-old Randy, who loves to dance and paint; and thoughtful Oliver, who is just six. Tired of wasting Saturdays doing nothing but wishing for larger allowances, the four Melendys jump at Randy's idea to start the Independent Saturday Afternoon Adventure Club (I.S.A.A.C.). If they pool their resources and take turns spending the whole amount, they can each have at least one memorable Saturday afternoon of their own. Before long, I.S.A.A.C. is in operation and every Saturday is definitely one to remember. Written more than half a century ago, The Saturdays unfolds with all the ripe details of a specific place and period but remains, just the same, a winning, timeless tale. The Saturdays is the first installment of Enright's Melendy Quartet, an engaging and warm series about the close-knit Melendy family and their surprising adventures.
