商品簡介
In this poetic handbook, the world-famous high-wire artist Philippe Petit offersa window into the world of tightrope walking. Petit masterfully explains howpreparation and self-control contributed to such feats as walking between thetowers of Notre Dame and the World Trade Center. Addressing such topicsas the rigging of the wire, the walker’s first steps, his salute and exercises, andthe work of other renowned high-wire artists, Petit offers us a book about theecstasy of conquering our fears and reaching for the stars. “After long hours oftraining, the moment comes when there are no more difficulties,” Petit writes.“Everything is possible, everything becomes easy. It is at this moment thatmany have perished. But that, no, that is not at all what I am afraid of.”
