Topsy: The Startling Story of the Crooked-Tailed Elephant, PT Barnum, and the American Wizard Thomas Edison In 1903, on Coney Island, an elephant named Topsy was electrocuted, and over the past century, this bizarre and ghoulish execution has reverberated through popular culture with the whiff of urban legend. But it really happened, and many historical forces conspired to bring Topsy, Thomas Edison, and those 6600 volts of alternating current together that day. In Topsy: The Startling Story of the Crooked-Tailed Elephant, PT Barnum, and the American Wizard Thomas Edison, journalist Michael Daly weaves together a fascinating popular history, the first book on this astonishing tale. At the turn of the century, the circus in America was at its peak with the circuses of PT Barnum and Adam Forepaugh (4Paw) competing in a "War of the Elephants" with declarations of whose pachyderms were younger, bigger, or more sacred. This brought Topsy to America fraudulently billed as the first native-born and caught between the circus disputes and the "War of the Currents" in which Edison and George Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla battled over alternating versus direct current. Rich in period Americana and full of circus tidbits and larger-than-life characters, both human and elephant, Topsy is a touching tale and an entertaining read.
Topsy: The Startling Story of the Crooked-Tailed Elephant, PT Barnum, and the American Wizard Thomas Edison В 1903 году на Кони-Айленде слона по кличке Топси ударило током, и за последнее столетие эта причудливая и отвратительная казнь аукнулась через массовую культуру с порывом городской легенды. Но это действительно произошло, и многие исторические силы сговорились свести Топси, Томаса Эдисона и эти 6600 вольт переменного тока вместе в тот день. В книге Topsy: The Startling Story of the Crooked-Tailed Elephant, PT Barnum, and the American Wizard Thomas Edison журналист Майкл Дейли сплетает увлекательную популярную историю, первую книгу об этой удивительной сказке. На рубеже веков цирк в Америке был на пике своей популярности, когда цирки П.Т. Барнума и Адама Форэпо (4Paw) соревновались в «Войне слонов» с объявлениями, чьи пахидермы были моложе, больше или более священными. Это привело Топси в Америку обманным путём объявленным первым уроженцем и оказавшимся между цирковыми спорами и «Войной токов», в которой Эдисон, Джордж Вестингауз и Никола Тесла боролись за переменный и постоянный ток. Богатая периодом Americana и полная цирковых лакомых кусочков и персонажей крупнее жизни, как человеческих, так и слоновьих, Topsy - трогательная сказка и занимательное прочтение.
