CIRCUS FIRE, THE(I***N=9780385496858) 英文原版 pdf 免费 地址 txt lrf 下载 kindle umd

　　The acclaimed author of A Prayer for the Dying brings

all his narrative gifts to bear on this gripping account of tragedy

and heroism-the great Hartford circus fire of 1944.

Halfway through a midsummer afternoon performance, Ringling

Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus's big top caught fire. The tent

had been waterproofed with a mixture of paraffin and gasoline; in

seconds it was burning out of control, and more than 8,000 people

were trapped inside. Drawing on interviews with hundreds of

survivors, O'Nan skillfully re-creates the horrific events and

illuminates the psychological oddities of human behavior under

stress: the mad scramble for the exits; the hero who tossed dozens

of children to safety before being trampled to death.

Brilliantly c***tructed and exceptionally moving, The Circus

Fire is history at its most compelling.
