Archibald Gracie Livres
Archibald Gracie IV était un auteur américain connu pour son récit détaillé du naufrage du Titanic. Son écriture se caractérise par sa précision et son aperçu personnel, offrant une perspective unique de témoin oculaire sur les événements de cette nuit fatidique. L'œuvre de Gracie constitue une précieuse contribution à la documentation de cette tragédie historique, offrant aux lecteurs un regard approfondi sur les expériences humaines face à la catastrophe. Son style est direct et percutant, soulignant la dimension humaine du drame.
Here is a survivor's vivid account of the greatest maritime disaster in history. The information contained in Gracie's account is available from no other source. He provides details of those final moments, including names of passengers pulled from the ocean and of those men who, in a panic, jumped into lifeboats as they were being lowered, causing injury and further danger to life. Walter Lord, author of A Night to Remember, comments that Gracie's book?written shortly before he died from the exposure he suffered on that night?is "invaluable for chasing down who went in what boat," and calls Gracie "an indefatigable detective."
