Details
Philippe Petit, a French street performer turned high-wire artist, attempts what he describes as the "coup of the century". Once the idea of walking a high-wire between the twin towers occurs, Phillippe becomes obsessed with it. This picture book captures the poetry and magic of the event with a poetry of its own: lyrical words and lovely paintings that present the detail, daring, and in two dramatic foldout spreads, the vertiginous drama of Petits feat.
