OTTIMO LIBRO BEN CONSERVATO- naturale ingiallimento ndelle pagine
Volume rilegato in cartoncino rigido ruvido, con titolo in oro al dorso, protetto da sovraccoperta illustrata con bandelle. Buonissimo lo stato di conservazione, pagine perfettamente tenute, velate da tonalità seppia, come i tagli. Traduzione di Luciana Pugliese. Numero pagine 174. USATO
br. La notte tra il 14 e il 15 aprile 1912, durante il quinto giorno del viaggio inaugurale, il Titanic strisciava contro un iceberg con la fiancata destra. Meno di duecento minuti dopo si spezzava e scompariva nell'oceano immobile. In quel momento iniziava il mito del Titanic, "La Nave" che ha sfondato i confini dell'immaginario, simbolo perpetuo della fallibilità della tecnica sostenuta dal delirio di onnipotenza degli uomini. Il gioiello della White Star Line si è inabissato portando con sé circa millecinquecento persone e le loro storie. Una tragedia mondiale, quasi un prologo delle catastrofi che di lì a poco avrebbero travolto il mondo. Una matassa di reticenze e menzogne ha coperto i responsabili della catena implacabile: errori, omissioni, incuria e negligenze che hanno provocato il disastro destinato a essere il manifesto e il simbolo del Novecento. Ogni frammento della vicenda viene ricostruito con un rigore storico inappuntabile e con uno stile incalzante come un romanzo. Del Titanic si sa "quasi" tutto, ma quella che riemerge da queste pagine è "un'altra storia" dove il dio denaro e il potere commerciale sui mari si intrecciano con la miseria e la frenesia dei mass media. E il dolore con l'amore, l'indifferenza, l'eroismo, la viltà. Sulla "Nave" c'erano il passato e il futuro del secolo breve. Una metafora eterna del nostro tempo.
Collezione "I rossi e i blu". Copertina di Fulvio Bianconi. Traduzione dall'inglese di Carla Verga. 26 illustrazioni fuori testo. Dalla quarta di copertina: Alle 23.40 del 14 aprile 1912, in una gelida notte senza luna, il pi ùgrande translatlantico d'Europa, salpato da Southampton e diretto a New York, andava a cozzare contro un iceberg. [...] In questo libro, che quando uscì per la prima volta nel 1955 ottenne subito un grande successo, Walter Lord ci dà una minuziona ricostruzione, fondata su testimonianze da lui raccolte con la spregiudicatezza e lo scrupolo del giornalista, di questo naufragio che commosse il mondo, restituendoci in tutti i suoi momenti più drammatici l'atmosfera di quella terribile notte.
8vo., First Edition, with numerous plates; black cloth, gilt back, grey endpapers, a fine copy in price-clipped dustwrapper.
ill., br. Nella notte fra il 14 e il 15 aprile 1912, al suo viaggio inaugurale, il transatlantico Titanic colò a picco dopo la collisione contro un iceberg al largo delle coste di Terranova. Oltre 1500 persone morirono, poco più di 700 si salvarono in una delle tragiche storie del mare che più di altre continua a destare interrogativi e a coinvolgere il pubblico. Questo libro narra la storia della nave, del suo equipaggio, dei suoi passeggeri in un affresco dettagliato e fa luce su molti aspetti di una vicenda il cui interesse non è mai stato completamente sopito.
