Summary

La anomalía y la excentricidad humana convertida en prodigio o fenómeno han recorrido el mundo a menudo bajo carpas circenses o en las pantallas del cine. En ocasiones, no eran más que otra forma para escapar del anonimato y de la indigencia. Muchas de esas vidas son historias de ostracismo, de explotación, de marginación y de condena. Más allá del morbo que puedan representar determinados personajes que aparecen en estas páginas, la importancia de este libro radica en que se trata de un riguroso estudio muy bien documentado por la notable erudición de su autor, que ha sido capaz de sacar a la luz seres humanos que han vivido bajo el estigma de la discriminación y a otros que han trabajado por el bien de estas personas.

Anomaly and human eccentricity, turned into marvel or spectacle, have often traveled the world under circus tents or on cinema screens. At times, they were simply a means of escaping anonymity and poverty. Many of these lives are stories of ostracism, exploitation, marginalization, and condemnation. Beyond any morbid curiosity certain figures in these pages might provoke, the true significance of this book lies in its being a thoroughly researched and well-documented study, marked by the remarkable scholarship of its author. It brings to light human beings who lived under the stigma of discrimination—and others who dedicated themselves to improving their lives.
