How to Survive the Titanic
How to Survive the Titanic | Frances Wilson
4 posts | 2 read | 15 to read
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."

Still thinking about the #Titanic disaster--why does one person feel so responsible, he gives up his chance to get in a lifeboat, but another chooses to save his own life? #thoughtprovoking #aprilbookshowers
