To reach the clouds : my high-wire walk between the Twin Towers
Petit, Philippe, 1949-2015
Books, Manuscripts
In 1974, a young Frenchman secretly - and illegally - rigged a tightrope between the Twin Towers. He made eight crossings in an hour, while 100,000 people watched in the streets of New York. Here, Petit recreates his six-and-a-half-year quest to realize his dream.
