" The circus is the lving depository of certain of the most ancient arts of civilization. Through it, man continues to communicate with animals and with some of the higher powers lying within the normal aptitudes of the species, which, for this reason, is endowed in our eyes with supernatural prestige. We can congratulate ourselves that Professor Bouissac, who has been himself a man of the circus, has had at the same time the intellectual capacity and the literary talent required to elaborate a theory which has always been lacking and which this book presents in a particularly brilliant manner." -- Claude Levi-Strauss
