Résumé :
Naturalists have 'em and train buffs have 'em. There are shelves full for artists, and finally jugglers have a handsome coffee table book of their own. Without even turning the first page, the 9"-by-12" cover of the hardback book, Juggling: The Art and Its Artists bespeaks quality. A sparse interpretive drawing of Francis Brunn by Paul Degan set on a shiny silver background captures in a few pen strokes the power and beauty of the art.
Inside, about 350 photographs and poster reproductions chronicle juggling from long past to present. But the aim of the book is not history. Ziethen has assembled some of the best pictures in his vast collection to give a pictorial overview of juggling as art. [editor summary]
