Y con este libro ponemos punto y final al reto eduardiano. Parece que fue ayer cuando lo empece y ya han pasado 12 meses en los que he hecho otras tantas lecturas, ninguna de las cuales ha tenido desperdicio, ya que no pocas de ellas están entre mis mejores lecturas del año. Además, esta iniciativa me ha permitido darle una oportunidad a varias obras que tenia desde hacia mucho tiempo cogiendo polvo en mis estanterías. Como el caso del libro que nos ocupa.Al final del libro, además, aparecen una serie de anexos que resulta de lo más interesante y que ayudan a comprender mejor cómo fueron las cosas. Durante la catástrofe. Dichos anexos incluye una lista de los pasajeros, un mapa con las diferentes partes en las que se articulaba el Titanic y y un capítulo que se centra en datos concretos del barco, como sus características físicas y el itinerario que siguió en su travesía.

Es verdad es que “La Última Noche del Titanic” fue un libro pionero en su época, una suerte de Biblia sobre el famoso hundimiento y como se gestó. Pero en la actualidad ha quedado un tanto desfasado y corto, mucha de la información que aporta, se ha demostrado que es inexacta o no ser verídica. A mi, personalmente se me ha quedado en muy poquita cosa, he notado que me faltaban ciertos datos o que había muchas cosas que no coincidían con lo que tenía entendido (que también os digo que yo no me considero ninguna experta sobre el tema del Titanic, para que mentir) Pero aún así, no creo que haya que quitarle ningún tipo de mérito a la obra, y menos por un libro que fue escrito en una época donde no había tantas posibilidades tecnológicas o técnicas historiografícas y recabar información era más difícil. The film disappointed at the box office. [1] However, it received critical acclaim and won the 1959 "Samuel Goldwyn International Award" for the UK at the Golden Globe Awards. [5] Among the many films about the Titanic, A Night to Remember is regarded highly by Titanic historians and survivors for its accuracy, despite its modest production values, compared with the 1997 Hollywood film Titanic.

Gone was the sweater that Steward Etches made him wear. Also his life belt. Instead he and his valet now stood resplendent in evening clothes. “We’ve dressed in our best,” he explained, “and are prepared to go down like gentlemen.”Alongside this, the sheer hubris surrounding the Titanic is extraordinary - not just the asking-for-trouble 'unsinkable' label but the way in which it was blithely accepted that crossing the Atlantic without adequate life-belts and life rafts was totally fine - we might all joke about the burdens of Health & Safety in the workplace but there's clearly a reason for it! Well, Heaven knows how many bold ‘n brave corrections to Lord’s summary our recent history has now washed up on the Beach of Historicism! Written in 1955 and partially based on interviews with survivors and families of the deceased, the book contradicts the standard narrative formed by the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Captain's suicide and the main heroine floating on the door, a vengeful husband and steerage passengers who craved to sneak into the first class - all were added for the dramatic effect. Anderson, D.

PDF / EPUB File Name: A_Night_to_Remember_-_Walter_Lord.pdf, A_Night_to_Remember_-_Walter_Lord.epub The Titanic disaster has provided material for quite an assortment of films, and a number of them have at least something to offer. This is one of the more effective, with its straightforward and, based on the knowledge then available, factually accurate approach. One particularly worthwhile aspect is that it spends more time detailing the reasons for the disaster than do most movies on the subject.The Titanic woke them up. Never again would they be quite so sure of themselves. In technology especially, the disaster was a terrible blow. Here was the "unsinkable ship" — perhaps man's greatest engineering achievement — going down the first time it sailed. Issues of class are lightly touched upon and I was somewhat startled to find that Lord himself buys into the gendered values of 1912: that women and children should be saved first, that men should be stoic and self-sacrificing with a stiff upper lip, and that any man who shows fear is somehow a 'coward' and failing in masculinity. It's hard reading/listening to this now not to have more sympathy for people showing fear and desperation in the face of almost certain and terrifying death by drowning. There is no danger that Titanic will sink. The boat is unsinkable and nothing but inconvenience will be suffered by the passengers." (Phillip Franklin, White Star Line Vice-President).
