Titanic: A Night Remembered
Autor Stephanie Barczewskien Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mai 2006
In
a
night
of
unforgettable
tragedy,
the
Titanic,
the
world's
largest
liner
on
its
maiden
voyage,
struck
an
iceberg
in
the
North
Atlantic
at
11.40
p.m.
on
14
April
1912
and
sank
at
2.20
a.m.
the
following
morning.
Over
1500
people
died.
Whose
fault
it
was,
and
how
the
passengers
and
crew
reacted,
has
been
a
subject
of
dispute
ever
since
the
first
news
of
the
disaster
broke.
Titanic:
A
Night
Remembered,
as
well
the
story
of
the
ship
and
its
only
voyage,
is
an
account
of
ten
of
those
who
died:
among
them
Titanic's
captain
Edward
Smith
and
builder
Thomas
Andrews,
John
Jacob
Astor,
the
richest
man
on
board,
and
the
bandmaster,
Wallace
Hartley,
who
played
as
the
ship
sank.
Stephanie
Barczewski
traces
their
lives
and
careers
and
what
brought
all
of
them
together
on
that
fatal
night.
Many
of
those
who
died
were
treated
as
heroes
(in
contrast
to
men
such
as
J.
Bruce
Ismay
and
Sir
Cosmo
Duff
Gordon,
who
used
their
influence
to
get
places
in
lifeboats).
How
these
men
and
women
were
remembered
in
both
Britain
and
America
says
much
about
contemporary
values
of
manhood,
heroism,
chivalry
and
national
pride.
Titanic:
A
Night
Remembered
also
sets
the
Titanic
in
the
context
of
three
ports:
Belfast,
where
it
was
built;
Southampton,
which
lost
600
citizens
as
members
of
its
crew;
and
Queenstown
in
Ireland,
its
last
port
of
call.

'It
is
hard
to
imagine
that
there
is
anything
original
left
to
write
about
Titanic,
but,
surprisingly,
this
book...has
managed

from
a
new

Descriere
In a night of unforgettable tragedy, the Titanic, the world's largest liner on its maiden voyage, struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic at 11.40 p.m. on 14 April 1912 and sank at 2.20 a.m. the following morning. Over 1500 people died. Whose fault it was, and how the passengers and crew reacted, has been a subject of dispute ever since the first news of the disaster broke. Titanic: A Night Remembered, as well the story of the ship and its only voyage, is an account of ten of those who died: among them Titanic's captain Edward Smith and builder Thomas Andrews, John Jacob Astor, the richest man on board, and the bandmaster, Wallace Hartley, who played as the ship sank. Stephanie Barczewski traces their lives and careers and what brought all of them together on that fatal night. Many of those who died were treated as heroes (in contrast to men such as J. Bruce Ismay and Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon, who used their influence to get places in lifeboats). How these men and women were remembered in both Britain and America says much about contemporary values of manhood, heroism, chivalry and national pride. Titanic: A Night Remembered also sets the Titanic in the context of three ports: Belfast, where it was built; Southampton, which lost 600 citizens as members of its crew; and Queenstown in Ireland, its last port of call.
