Book Description
Hundreds of people, old and young, gasp as a group of fearless acrobats turn somersaults high above the circus ring. Merry laughter accompanies the antics of the clown. And then the spectators hold on to their seats and brace themselves as the roar of a lion, or a tiger, announces the beginning of the greatest act of them all . . .
This book is a personal account by one of the best Soviet trainers of wild animals, a book of courage, stamina, and daring. It is a warm and straightforward story told by a man who devoted his life to a dangerous but highly exciting occupation.
Lions, tigers, leopards, zebras, ostriches, brown bears and polar bears - these were some of the animal friends of Boris Eder, People's Artiste of the Russian Federation.
Boris Eder owes his fame as a trainer to his love and understanding of wild animals, his courage, his high sense of showmanship, his constant striving to do better and better in his chosen field.
Boris Eder sums up the experiences of his life with these words: "My life has been eventful and happy, though not easy. If I had to begin all over again, I would still choose the life of a trainer of wild animals."
