Im Schatten der Titanic

Ein beeindruckende, illustrierter Titanic-Roman, der intime Schicksale und kollektive Erinnerungen über zwei Epochen hinweg miteinander verknüpft, verbunden durch ein einziges geheimnisvolles Rätsel. An der funkelnden Riviera von 1929 - einer Welt voller atemberaubender Feste und Eleganz - treffen wir auf eine bezaubernde junge Frau, deren Leben plötzlich auf den Kopf gestellt wird. Sie wird von seltsamen Visionen aus einer anderen Zeit heimgesucht. Im Jahr 1912, an Bord der Titanic, inmitten der Pracht der Salons und der Verheißungen der Neuen Welt, treffen wir auf andere Frauen, die bald mit einer Tragödie mit dem Ozean konfrontiert sein werden. Das Werk vereint die poetische Prosa von Cécile Roumiguière mit dem spektakulären visuellen Universum von Benjamin Lacombe, der Öl-Gouache, Tinte und Aquarell meisterhaft miteinander verschmelzen lässt. Am Ende des Buches befindet sich ein eingearbeiteter Umschlag, der Nachbildungen von Archivdokumenten der Titanic enthält - Tickets, Briefe, Speisekarten - die von Lacombe kunstvoll rekonstruiert wurden.

The Wreck of the Titan

Before the Titanic became history, The Wreck of the Titan imagined it. First published in 1898, Morgan Robertson's astonishing novella tells of the Titan, the largest and most advanced ocean liner ever built, deemed practically unsinkable and a triumph of modern engineering. When the ship strikes an iceberg in the cold waters of the North Atlantic, that confidence proves fatal, and catastrophe unfolds with chilling inevitability.At the heart of the disaster is John Rowland, a fallen naval officer seeking redemption. Thrown into the chaos of a sinking ship and a sea filled with desperate survivors, Rowland faces moral choices that will define his character and his fate. His struggle to save an innocent child becomes a powerful story of courage, responsibility, and human endurance against overwhelming odds.Eerily prophetic in its details, The Wreck of the Titan mirrors the real-life tragedy of the Titanic with uncanny accuracy, from the scale of the ship to the shortage of lifeboats and the icy Atlantic setting. Part gripping sea adventure, part moral drama, and part literary curiosity, this classic novella remains one of the most remarkable examples of fiction anticipating history.
