La Oruga Humana

com um comentário

Prince Randian, whose real name has been lost to history, was born in Demarara, British Guiana, in 1871, the child of British Indian servants. Little is known about his early life or how he was discovered, but it seems his incredible adaptability did not go unnoticed.

Randian appeared in freak shows, where he demonstrated the ease and facility with which he could shave, write, paint, and roll cigarettes – all without arms or legs. He was even fairly efficient at moving from place to place, wriggling his hips and shoulders in a snakelike motion. Randian is also said to have been a skilled carpenter. The box in which he kept his smoking materials was built by Randian himself, using his mouth and shoulders to manipulate his tools; he often joked that he would someday build his own house.

Randian was married early in life to a Hindu woman known only as Princess Sarah, who remained devoted to him throughout his long show career.The couple had four children together and the family eventually settled in Paterson, New Jersey.
