"Acrobats and Mountebanks" by Hugues Le Roux and Jules Garnier is a detailed monograph written in the late 19th century. This work dives into the world of acrobats and mountebanks, shedding light on their lives, customs, and the intricacies of their profession within the context of travelling shows and fairs. It aims to educate the reader about the often misunderstood yet colorful life of these artists who bring wonder and amusement to audiences worldwide. The opening of the book establishes the context for the exploration of the historically rich and vibrant world of the acrobat and mountebank. It highlights the ignorance of the general public regarding the intricate details of their lives, citing the hesitation of these artists to share their stories. The text then introduces the term "banquiste", detailing the origins and socio-cultural significance of these performers, who are described as a diverse and free-spirited tribe. Furthermore, the narrative promises to reveal the organization of this community and settings like fairs where they perform, setting the stage for a more profound exploration of their lives and the artistry involved in their craft.
