Jankowiski Jacob has 93 years, lives in a nursing home and is atormentato by the ghosts of the past. It's not a grumpy old man and likes to tell about their history, more after the arrival of a circus is the city he finds himself remembering everything that happened 70 years ago.
At 23 Jacob was finishing college of veterinary medicine, a little more before the end he receives word that his parents had an accident and not survived, it will recognize the same day the bodies and is shaken, returns home and sees things from the mother and father as they were left in the morning, the board sees that his father had done to put the building with a floor that is behind the house "E. Jankowiski and Son. Veterinarians."
Jacob gets very upset and does not know what to do on the day of the funeral many people were console - it more all he wanted was that everything was over and it was just a bad dream. When the funeral ends he returns home a few days later and is summoned to a conversation with Dr. Hyde on inheritance, Jacob thinks it's a joke in bad taste what Hyde is counting his father was receiving animals and eggs as payment for almost two years, preferred to receive it as payment to see animals suffering. In the same conversation Jacob discovers that parents have a huge debt because of a delay in the mortgage, he asks if he can assume his father's clinic and pay all the debt over Hyde says he can not. The entire property goes to the bank as payment. With nowhere to go Jacob returns to live in college, soon reached the finals, and he's still so shaken by the accident and not knowing what to give up everything and leave without knowing where to go. It is the night for when to rest, when you hear the sound of a train and tries to jump in with great effort can get on the train, and have to explain why not be there to find that the bullies. In this conversation he finds himself in a circus, as he did not know what to do, tried to convince the bullies to leave him be and could only with the help of one of the men who worked in the circus.
Thereafter his life was the circus, became a veterinarian there, suffered greatly at the hands of the head of Uncle Al and August owner of the circus, more circus also brought good things like friends, a career as a veterinarian, and two great passions Marlena and Rosie the elephant the wife of his boss August.
When I finished reading the book I knew what to think, the story is really exciting. The book works well as a circus and has great details the whole show. It's hard to find words to describe this book, he is brilliant. Shows a novel so full of obstacles that sometimes you think it will not work and end the book shows you that for more complicated is that you can overcome obstacles - it. Everyone should know this book (and cliche phrase), it holds you from beginning to end.
