Niesamowita lektura. Ma się wrażenie, że naprawdę jest się na pokładzie "Titanica" w tę okropną noc.

Gdy dziś usłyszymy hasło Titanic, jedni od razu skojarzą go z obsypanym Oscarami filmem Jamesa Camerona z Kate Winslet i Leonardo DiCaprio w rolach głównych. Inni pomyślą o orkiestrze grającej do samego końca, a dla jeszcze innych oznaczać ono będzie luksusowy statek biorący udział w jednej z najwię...

Good companion to Lord's other book about the Titanic. Lord tackles some of the questions raised by various people. The topics include the building of the ship as well as the ships discovery. Each chapter is a mini-story and the writing has vigor.

Fascinating minute by minute recounting of the sinking of the Titanic from several viewpoints of survivors. I couldn't put it down. The movie of the same name that was made from this book is also highly recommended.

This historical account of the Titanic's sinking includes a myriad of stories from survivors, putting together the big picture of what was going on among the people on the ship the night Titanic sunk. The author used primary sources to put together this very readable text. I enjoyed reading the di...

When I was about 15, I was completely obsessed with the Titanic (yep, that's the year the movie came out!), and I brought every book I could find about it. And at the time, hyping up the movie, there was a lot of books available.A couple of years later, the obsession had faded and it wasn't until th...
