Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Barnum' by M.R. Werner is a comprehensive and engaging biography of Phineas Taylor Barnum, the legendary American showman who redefined the nature of entertainment in the nineteenth century. The work explores the life of a man who was simultaneously a museum proprietor, a circus mogul, and a master of the 'humbug.' From his early days in Connecticut to the establishment of the world-famous Barnum & Bailey Circus, the book details his extraordinary knack for promotion and his profound impact on American popular culture. Werner provides a detailed look at Barnum's most famous attractions, including General Tom Thumb, the Feejee Mermaid, and the celebrated Swedish soprano Jenny Lind. More than just a collection of anecdotes, 'Barnum' examines the psychological and social landscape of an era that was captivated by curiosity and spectacle. It captures the spirit of a man who understood the public's desire to be amazed and his tireless pursuit of the 'Greatest Show on Earth.'
