How to Survive the Titanic: The Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay, Paperback/Frances Wilson

Descriere & specificații

Award-winning historian Frances Wilson delivers a gripping new account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic , looking at the collision and its aftermath through the prism of the demolished life and lost honor of the ship's owner, J. Bruce Ismay. In a unique work of history evocative of Joseph Conrad's classic novel Lord Jim , Wilson raises provocative moral questions about cowardice and heroism, memory and identity, survival and guilt--questions that revolve around Ismay's loss of honor and identity as his monolithic venture--a ship called "The Last Word in Luxury" and "The Unsinkable"--was swallowed by the sea and subsumed in infamy forever.
