The "unsinkable" Titanic was four city blocks long, with a French "sidewalk cafe," private promenade decks, and the latest, most ingenious safety devices—but only twenty lifeboats for the 2,207 passengers and crew on board.
Gliding through a calm sea, disdainful of all obstacles, the Titanic brushed an iceberg. Two hours and forty minutes later, she upended and sank. Only 705 survivors were picked up from the half-filled boats of "the ship that God himself couldn't sink."
Walter Lord's classic minute-by-minute re-creation is as vivid now as it was upon first publication fifty years ago. From the initial distress flares to the struggles of those left adrift for hours in freezing waters, this audio presentation will bring that moonlit night in 1912 to life for a new generation of readers.
©1955 Walter Lord (P)1997 Blackstone Audio, Inc.Reseñas de la crítica
“Fred Williams’ reading sounds so like a news report that the immediacy engages the reader from the start. Highly recommended.”
(Library Journal, audio review)“The best book about a disaster I had ever read.”
(David McCullough, historian and New York Times bestselling author)“Stunning…one of the most exciting books of this or any year.”
(New York Times)“As seamless and skillful as you’re going to get, from the analysis of 1912’s upper-class-biased press coverage to the Vietnam Memorialesque passenger list…If God is indeed in the details, it’s clear why this is many a researcher’s Titanic bible.”
(Entertainment Weekly)“Devotion, gallantry—Benjamin Guggenheim changing to evening clothes to meet death; Mrs. Isador Straus clinging to her husband, refusing to get in a lifeboat; Arthur Ryerson giving his life belt to his wife’s maid—it is a book to remember.”
(Chicago Tribune)“If your child is caught up in Titanic hype, forget about Kate and Leonardo, share A Night to Remember. Walter Lord’s historic account of the disaster…is gripping.”
(Detroit Free Press)
