Edge of Tomorrow. I am dead, all dead.

Titouan Lamazou - "Domani, morto io, morti tutti"

autore: Le Roux Patrick

edizioni: Mursia


Centonove giorni, otto ore e quarantotto minuti hanno fatto entrare Titouan Lamazou nella leggenda del mare. Nel 1990 ha vinto la prima edizione della Vendée Globe, il primo giro del mondo in solitario senza scalo. Pittore, romanziere, fieramente solitario, il comandante dell'Ecureuil d'Aquitaine II is first captain of his fate: "A man is alone on board a boat on the whole of humanity." In Lamazou is the pride of belonging to the "gang of Pen-Duick", and indeed his first voyages were alongside Tabarly, but also the awareness that his understanding of the sea is heir to the tradition of Moitessier , libertarian idea, outside the rules, rebel always tended to live the fleeting moment, a perennial carpe diem.






my personal opinion: Titouan is an absolute LEGEND of the sail, a character definition, but the reading of the book is also easily unless ................ is all a ping-pong messages bounced between neurotic Titouan on board "Ecureuil d'Aquitaine II "around the world and his ground crew in Britain, topped by the comments of the journalist author and creator of the book .....

much more edifying however, this video document the epic first edition of the "mad race to sail around the world ..........
