Jadoowallahs Jugglers And Jinns A Magical History Of India
John Zubrzycki
Picador India
9789386215352
Product Description
India’s association with magic goes back thousands of years – from the seals of Mohenjodaro that depicted sorcerers and yogis to the jugglers and acrobats that dazzled spectators at the courts of Hindu maharajas and Mughal emperors. Tales were told of ropes being thrown up in the air strong enough for a boy to climb of fakirs being buried alive for months and brought back to life and of sanperas charming deadly cobras with their flutes. In the early nineteenth century touring Indian magicians mesmerized audiences abroad prompting generations of Western illusionists to emulate them. Jadoowallahs Jugglers and Jinns A Magical History of India tells the story of how Indian magic descended from the domain of the gods to become part of daily ritual and popular entertainment and its transformation from the street to the stage culminating with the rise of the great P. C. Sorcar Sr. Drawing on ancient religious texts colonial records newspaper reports journals and memoirs of Western and Indian magicians John Zubrzycki offers us a vibrant narrative on Indian magic from ancient times to the present day.
