Textul de pe ultima copertă
While many accounts of the Titanic's voyage focus on the technical or mechanical aspects of why the ship sank, Voyagers of the Titanic follows the stories of the men, women, and children whose lives intersected on the vessel's fateful last day, covering the full range of first, second, and third class—from plutocrats and captains of industry to cobblers and tailors looking for a better life in America.
Richard Davenport-Hines delves into the fascinating lives of those who ate, drank, reveled, dreamed, and died aboard this mythic ship. With magnificent prose, Voyagers of the Titanic also brings to life the untold stories of the ship's middle and third classes, each of whom had a story that not only illuminates the ship but also the times in which it sailed. The memory of this tragedy still remains a part of the American psyche and this book brings us back to that clear night with all its drama and pathos.

Recenzii
“Here at last is the true memorial ... a book well worthy of marking the centenary of the crystal-clear night when the immense ship slid to her terrible doom” — Simon Winchester
“An astonishing work, of meticulous research, which allows us to know, in painful detail, the men and women on that fateful voyage. Even now, a hundred years later, Mr. Davenport-Hines finds a new, and heart-breaking, story to tell.” — Julian Fellowes, Creator and Executive Producer of "Downton Abbey"
“Paints a provocative portrait of the “upstairs, downstairs” social stratification in play aboard the doomed ship. A-” — Entertainment Weekly
“The story of the Titanic has been told many times; this one takes a sociological perspective, with the confident, graceful prose of fine fiction.” — Wall Street Journal
“Impressive in both its writing and reporting... It’s a romp. You don’t know who will be strolling down the deck next.” — USA Today
“A shattering human story that is also, when told as well as Davenport-Hines tells it, utterly compelling.” — Sunday Times (UK), lead review
“Eloquent and absorbing… It will stay afloat long after the armada of other Titanic books have gone down.” — The Telegraph (UK)
“This will not be the last book on the Titanic, but it is a safe bet that there will not be a better.” — The Spectator (UK), lead review
“Meticulous... detailed account.” — Women's Wear Daily.com
“This intelligent book focuses not on the ship so much as its passengers. Bolstered by photographs of the people who built, staffed, sailed on and survived the Titanic, Davenport-Hines finds a slew of new points of view from which to scan history.” — Denver Post
