    | Book description |

 

The novel, told in flashback by nonagenarian Jacob Jankowski, recounts the wild and wonderful period he spent with the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth, a traveling circus he joined during the Great Depression. When 23-year-old Jankowski learns that his parents have been killed in a car crash, leaving him penniless, he drops out of Cornell veterinary school and parlays his expertise with animals into a job with the circus, where he cares for a menagerie of exotic creatures. He also falls in love with Marlena, one of the show's star performers—a romance complicated by Marlena's husband, the unbalanced, sadistic circus boss who beats both his wife and the animals Jankowski cares for...

《馬戲團之戀》以1920年經(jīng)濟大恐慌為背景,主角是二十三歲的Jacob,Jacob在父母因車禍身亡之后,毅然休學(xué)加入馬戲團擔(dān)任獸醫(yī),在巡回表演的路程中,Jacob結(jié)識了各種怪異人物,其中包括一只只聽得懂波蘭語的大象Roise;雅克還愛上團長的妻子,馬戲團的臺柱Marlena,因而引發(fā)了一連串沖突。作者生動地刻畫這段三角戀情,同時詳實而栩栩如生地描繪馬戲團的運作和生態(tài)。本書除了浪漫愛情成分,作者巧妙添加了歷史、懸疑的部分,最后結(jié)果更是出人意料,讓人大呼過癮。
