Maison d'édition: Dominic Haynes
Synopsis
The world’s greatest ship was never more than a fragile illusion.What happens when the pinnacle of Gilded Age engineering meets the cold math of a frozen abyss? Can the rigid social codes of an era survive a two-mile plunge into the dark?In Titanic: The Last Night, Dominic Haynes strips away a century of myth to deliver a visceral, minute-by-minute account of the disaster. Moving from the mahogany-lined First Class suites to the flooded stokeholds, Haynes weaves the perspectives of survivors like Charles Lightoller and Violet Jessop into a cinematic tapestry of ruin and resilience.Inside, you will witness:The haunting silence of a "sea of glass" before the fatal shudder.The desperate tapping of the Marconi keys screaming into the void.The surreal waltz of the band as the Grand Staircase drowns.The structural agony of a 46,000-ton leviathan snapping in the dark.You may know how it ends, but you have never felt the spray or heard the rending steel like this. This is the definitive, character-driven autopsy of a world's end.Step onto the deck and endure the final night.
