The Autobiography of a Clown by Isaac Marcosson Audiobook Full Length


This "as told to" autobiography of Jules Turnour is based on a popular article that appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in 1909. Turnour relates through Marcosson his personal history and that of the circus, both in Europe and the United States. By recounting touching, amusing, and heartbreaking events that he experienced or witnessed, he demonstrates his love of circus life and his craft. "As soon as I hear the music of the band...and the indescribable movement of the crowd toward the big tent...I am stirred to action, the weariness falls away like magic, and I am young again."

This book is the perfect length and gives an overall personal view of the circus as experienced by a lifelong circus performer. The narration is easy to listen to and is not over dramatic like I’ve heard others done.

Wonderful Life Story!
