Daniel P. Mannix Knihy

    Daniel Pratt Mannix IV bol americký autor a novinár, ktorého život bol pozoruhodne odlišný od života jeho generácie. Jeho kariéra zahŕňala pôsobenie ako predvádzač na jarmoku, kúzelník, cvičiteľ orlov a filmár. Ako autor pokrýval širokú škálu tém, od fiktívnych zvieracích príbehov pre deti a prírodnej histórie zvierat po dobrodružné rozprávania o love veľkej zveri a senzáciechtivé dospelé práce faktu. Jeho tvorba zahŕňala biografie okultistov, súcitné portréty varietných umelcov a „rarít“, a diela opisujúce okrem iného Hellfire Club, transatlantický obchod s otrokmi, históriu mučenia a rímske hry.

      Meet the strangest people who ever lived!Read all · the notorious love affairs of midgets· the strange sex lives of Siamese twins· the dwarf clown's wife whose feet grew directly from her body· the mule-faced woman whose son became her manager· the unusual amours of Jolly Daisy, the fat woman· the famous pinhead who inspired Verdi's Rigoletto· the tragedy of Betty Lou Williams and her parasitic twin· the midget, only 34 inches tall, who was happily married to a 264-pound wife· the human torso who could sew, crochet, and type· and bizarre accounts of normal humans turned into freaks-either voluntarily or by evil design!Originally printed in a small edition and withdrawn by the publisher after one month, this book (out of print for nearly 20 years), is brought back to eye-popping life with many new photos. Daniel P. Mannix, now enjoying a cult revival, is the author of noir classics such as Those About to Die, The History of Torture, The Hell-fire Club, Memoirs of a Sword Swallower, The Beast (the first biography of Aleister Crowley to enjoy wide readership), and many others. A former sword-swallower, fire-eater, fakir and world traveler, Mr. Mannix still lives on the family farm with his falcon, miniature horses and reptile collection.
