Specificatii
The #1 New York Times bestseller from David Mc Cullough, two-time
winner of the Pulitzer Prize--the dramatic story-behind-the-story
about the courageous brothers who taught the world how to
fly--Wilbur and Orville Wright. On a winter day in 1903, in the
Outer Banks of North Carolina, two brothers--bicycle mechanics from
Dayton, Ohio--changed history. But it would take the world some
time to believe that the age of flight had begun, with the first
powered machine carrying a pilot. Orville and Wilbur Wright were
men of exceptional courage and determination, and of far-ranging
intellectual interests and ceaseless curiosity. When they worked
together, no problem seemed to be insurmountable. Wilbur was
unquestionably a genius. Orville had such mechanical ingenuity as
few had ever seen. That they had no more than a public high school
education and little money never stopped them in their mission to
take to the air. Nothing did, not even the self-evident reality
that every time they took off, they risked being killed. In this
"enjoyable, fast-paced tale" (The Economist), master historian
David Mc Cullough "shows as never before how two Ohio boys from a
remarkable family taught the world to fly" (The Washington Post)
and "captures the marvel of what the Wrights accomplished" (The
Wall Street Journal). He draws on the extensive Wright family
papers to profile not only the brothers but their sister,
Katharine, without whom things might well have gone differently for
them. Essential reading, this is "a story of timeless importance,
told with uncommon empathy and fluency...about what might be the
most astonishing feat mankind has ever accomplished...The Wright
Brothers soars" (The New York Times Book Review).
