To Reach the Clouds

One night in 1974, Philippe Petit secretly - and illegally - rigged a tightrope between the twin towers of the World Trade Center. At daybreak, he gave the high-wire performance of all time, making eight crossings over the course of an hour. This memoir tells the story of how he conspired, connived, improvised, and insisted his way to this coup.

Intr-o noapte din 1974, Philippe Petit a instalat in secret - si ilegal - o franghie intre turnurile gemene ale World Trade Center. In zorii zilei, el a dat performanta de varf a tuturor timpurilor, facand opt traversari in decurs de o ora.
