Now that’s gotten translated from French into English by Niels Duinker, future generations of jugglers can learn about this part of juggling history. Paul Adrian was born in 1919. He made his debut as a journalist in the magazine “La Vie Hippique,” created by his father. His passion for the circus quickly led him to write for many magazines. He was the first writer to have covered the history of the circus and its specialties encyclopedically. His books still constitute the foundations of any circophile library today. This book tells about the origin of the art of juggling, and it contains valuable first-hand descriptions of the acts of many of the best practitioners from the European circus and variety scene of the mid 20th century. In this 2018 edition of the book, many never before published photos have been added from the Juggling Archive of Karl-Heinz Ziethen, who got spired to start writing his books on the history of juggling after he got a copy of the original book from Paul Adrian.

You’ll discover forgotten props, lost techniques, iconic performers, strange dead ends, and surprising ideas that feel shockingly modern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes this book truly special for jugglers is that Ziethen didn’t just collect facts; he organized juggling history into clear timelines and styles. As a close personal friend of many of the greatest modern jugglers, from Anthony Gatto to Francis Brunn, he documented juggling from the inside. You can literally see how tricks, props, and styles evolved, disappeared, and then returned centuries later in new forms. It’s a powerful reminder that almost nothing in juggling appears out of nowhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor amateurs, street performers, and professionals alike, this makes the book far more than a history lesson. It helps you understand why juggling looks the way it does today—and where there’s still room for you to innovate.

You can only look forward as far as you can look back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis expanded second edition builds on Ziethen’s classic 4,000 Years of Juggling and adds new material, additional photographs, and updated coverage of contemporary jugglers and modern developments—placing today’s stars in a long, continuous tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e600+ pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 1,100 archival photographs, drawings, and illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers more than 4,000 years of juggling history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdated with modern artists and innovations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor less than the cost of a new set of balls or clubs, you gain access to nearly everything that has shaped juggling as an art form.
