The Perfect Storm Zusammenfassung

The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea Sebastian Junger

It was the storm of the century, boasting waves over one hundred feet high-a tempest created by so rare a combination of factors that meteorologists deemed it the perfect storm. In a book that has become a classic, Sebastian Junger explores the history of the fishing industry, the science of storms, and the candid accounts of the people whose lives the storm touched. The Perfect Storm is a real-life thriller that makes us feel like we've been caught, helpless, in the grip of a force of nature beyond our understanding or control.

Winner of the American Library Association's 1998 Alex Award.

The Perfect Storm Bewertungen

Thrilling...even if you have never been to sea, Junger's account will put the frighteners on you. -- New York Times Book Review
Guaranteed to blow readers away...A+. -- Entertainment Weekly
A superb book. -- Washington Post
[A] white-knuckle chronicle...[A] true adventure story. -- Newsweek
Every boater is drawn to storm-at-sea stories, and this one beats them all. -- Philadelphia Inquirer
Rich, compassionate characterization, as well as taut, suspenseful prose. A tale that doesn't skimp on facts, yet keeps you turning pages from beginning to end. -- Seattle Times
Riveting...The natural upheaval holds center stage and acts as a character, but the story converges upon human beings-in this case, the six-man crew of the doomed Gloucester swordfishing boat Andrea Gail. -- Boston Globe
Harrowing, relentless...and thoroughly enjoyable. -- Kansas City Star
The pages of this book crunch with salt. -- Boating
A terrifying, edifying read...Readers...are first seduced into caring for the book's doomed characters, then compelled to watch them carried into the jaws of a meteorological hell. Junger's compassionate, intelligent voice instructs us effortlessly on the sea life of the sword-fisherman, the physics of a sinking steel ship, and the details of death by drowning. -- Dava Sobel
One reads with the most intense concern, anxiety and concentration; and if one knows anything at all about the sea one feels the absolutely enormous strength of the hurricane winds and the incredibly towering mass of the hundred-foot waves. -- Patrick O'Brian
