Teos on täynnä silminnäkijöiden kertomuksia Titanicilta, sekä ennen että jälkeen onnettomuuden. Selviytyjien lisäksi mukana on muutama onnettomuudessa menehtynyt matkustaja, joiden tarinat laivalta on kerätty heidän lähettämistään kirjeistä matkan alkuvaiheilta, ja jokaista kertomusta pohjustaa kyseisen silminnäkijän taustat ennen ja jälkeen kyseisen matkan. Vielä kuudensadan sivunkin jälkeen silminnäkijöiden kertomukset suorastaan karmivat selkäpiitä. ( ) A detailed look at the Titanic disaster as told almost entirely through first-hand reports, letters, and testimony. Much effort has been made to put the stories into a semblance of chronological order to make sense of the events of the evening the Titanic sank, but after a while the whole senseless tragedy of the thing becomes overwhelming. Much like the events of that night, I suppose. This is a very full and comprehensive collection of almost all accounts by Titanic survivors and others related to these events, as well as a wide range of newspaper articles from before, during and after the events. As such, it contains many tragic and moving accounts, though also, inevitably, rather a lot of duplication. It is very useful as a compendium of relevant contemporary accounts, though it could have done with a little more contextualisation and analysis to balance the undoubtedly valuable comtemporary testimony. Contains very useful lists of passengers and crew, biographies of survivors and ships, plus a glossary (very usefully searchable on my Kindle edition) which rounds off its valuable reference function. 4/5 aucune critique | ajouter une critique
History.
Nonfiction.
HTML: This is the graphic, first-hand story of the maiden voyage and disastrous sinking of the RMS Titanic, told by the survivors themselves. The story of the sinking of the great liner has been told countless times since that fateful night on April 14, 1912, by historians, novelists, and film producers alike, but no account is as graphic or revealing as those from the people who were actually there. Through survivors' tales and contemporary newspaper reports from both sides of the Atlantic, here are eyewitness accounts full of details that range from poignant to humorous, stage by stage from the liner's glorious launch in Belfast to the somber sea burial services of those who perished on her first and only voyage. In this book, the voices of the survivors share their own stories, as well as the official records, press reports, and investigations into what went wrong that night. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
