HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. Meet the greatest entertainer of
the 19th Century... In 1834, desperate to create a better life for
his family, small-time Connecticut businessman P. T. Barnum moved
to New York City. With true entrepreneurial spirit and against all
odds, he wowed audiences with his ensemble of musical spectacles,
attractions and variety shows - often exploiting the vulnerable for
entertainment value. A master showman, his crowning achievement was
the world-famous circus, Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on
Earth. In this account of his life and work, written by the man
himself and first published in 1855, P. T. Barnum creates an aura
of excitement about himself and his enduring fame, confirming his
reputation as the greatest impresario of all time and revealing the
controversial decisions that helped him to his fortune.
One of the most important financial books ever written. Following
the practical advice herein will lead to increased wealth. Those
who really desire to attain an independence, have only to set their
minds upon it, and adopt the proper means, as they do in regard to
any other object which they wish to accomplish, and the thing is
easily done. But however easy it may be found to make money, I have
no doubt many of my hearers will agree it is the most difficult
thing in the world to keep it. The road to wealth is, as Dr.
Franklin truly says, "as plain as the road to the mill." Wilder
Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to
order. This reduces waste and helps us keep prices low while
greatly reducing our impact on the environment.
I hold that every man should, like Cuvier, the French naturalist,
thoroughly know his business. So proficient was he in the study of
natural history, that you might bring to him the bone, or even a
section of a bone of an animal which he had never seen described,
and, reasoning from analogy, he would be able to draw a picture of
the object from which the bone had been taken. On one occasion his
students attempted to deceive him. They rolled one of their number
in a cow skin and put him under the professor's table as a new
specimen. When the philosopher came into the room, some of the
students asked him what animal it was. Suddenly the animal said "I
am the devil and I am going to eat you."
The Greatest Showman in the History of the Universe reveals his
secrets for accumulating vast sums of wealth so that anyone can
follow his program and become rich. After a wonderful career in
which he made and lost fortunes, captivated Kings and Queens, and
used his genius, wit and eloquence, P.O. Barnum wrote these golden
rules for making money.
