The most important book devoted to the Titanic tragedy, without which there would have been no famous film by James Cameron.
Walter Lord takes us aboard the sinking ship, describing minute by minute the moving story of the struggle for survival of more than two thousand passengers. He recounts the course of the dramatic night of April 14-15, 1912 from the perspective of the captain's bridge, the first-class lounges and the cabins of passengers crowding the lowest decks.
The author accompanies the victims of the disaster from the moment the ship collided with the iceberg until their death or lucky rescue in lifeboats, shows acts of heroic courage and cowardice. Full of emotion, the story allows the reader to feel like one of the passengers of the legendary ocean liner that was supposed to be unsinkable.
