网友对A Night to Remember的评论
可以买到记录泰坦尼克号沉没前发生的事情的书，真的很感动
排版很好，而且是纯英文的，对与英语学习很有好处
如题，后面有二十多页都是乘客名单，这本书总共才200页。如果不是严肃的学术书籍，用这么长的篇幅来记录船员名字实在是没有必要，毕竟大家都不认识。
我的英文水平一般，对于这种书，我也只是看了个大概。但是很有感觉。不错。
This is an excellent book on the sinking of the "unsinkable ship," Titanic. The Author, Walter Lord, did his homework well in compiling a timeline of events which occurred prior, during, and after the ship struck the iceberg that doomed the ship. Although nobody can accurately record all verbatim statements made by the passengers and crew during this disaster, the Author did the best he could based on actual statements made by the survivors during the U.S. and British formal investigation and hearings which were conducted after the disaster . It is obvious that the producers and director of the movie "Titanic," which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, read this book and incorporated some of the events noted in this book into the movie; although the movie did take a number of 'liberties' in altering actual events when incorporating some events into the movie. This book is well worth the time and effort to read and you will probably learn things you didn't know regarding the sinking of the ship.
Another book I highly recommend reading in conjunction with this book is "Titanic an Illustrated History." The text of this book by Don Lynch and introduction by Robert D. Ballard, the scientist who was credited with finding the wreckage of the ship back in the 1980's. This book has many photos and illustrations so I highly recommend purchasing the hard copy from Amazon.
First published in 1955, time has not diminished the power of this classic account of the final hours of the Titanic to capture the imagination and interest of the reader. It was turned into an award winning hit movie of the same name in the late 1950s.
Not only is the book a well-written, riveting account of the Titanic's final hours, it also tells the personal stories of some of the passengers and crew members that survived that harrowing time. It is also a peek into a bygone time, that of the Edwardian era, when class distinctions were more marked and the concept of women and children first prevailed.
Although the story of the Titanic is a tragic one, out of its debacle arose improved shipboard safety, and the practice of having enough lifeboats to accommodate all passengers became the standard. No longer would an ocean going vessel ever market itself as unsinkable.
This is a marvelous book that those with an interest in the Titanic Or stories of survival will love. I was positively riveted from start to finish.
At the time it was written this book was heralded as an instant class and considered to be the definitive account of that tragic night. Given that it was written in the 1950's, it is clear why it was so highly regarded. Mr. Lord was able to interview numerous survivors, a luxury that modern day historians don't have. Of course, much has been learned about that night since this book was published. Additionally, the films and documentaries have captured the imagination of many and, it is likely, most who read this book will already have a good grasp of what actually happened. That all having been said, I found it to be a riveting account that seemingly went minute-by-minute. Equally as interesting are some of the characters whose antics are described in the book. For anyone who has at least a mild interest in the Titanic, this book is well worth reading.
