Hoffman, Paul
Wings of Madness: Alberto Santos-Dumont and the Invention of Flight
New York Theia; Hyperion 2003 0786866594 / 9780786866595 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
ix, 369 pp., illus., bib. notes, index; 22 cm. AS NEW. Stated "First Edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "From Paul Hoffman, the acclaimed author of The Man Who Loved Only Numbers, comes this engaging true story of the man who was once hailed worldwide as the conqueror of the air -- Alberto Santos-Dumont. Because the Wright brothers worked in secrecy, word of their first flights had not reached Europe when Santos-Dumont took to the skies in 1906. The dashing and impeccably dressed aeronaut stunned and delighted Paris, barhopping around the city in a one-man dirigible he invented, circling above crowds and crashing into rooftops. Yet Santos-Dumont was a frenzied genius tortured by the weight of his own creation. Wings of Madness is a riveting, brilliantly told story of this tormented man who helped to usher in the modern age and who epitomized the increasingly tortured spirit of the twentieth century -- it is elegant, fascinating, and deeply moving. / Paul Hoffman was president of Encyclopaedia Britannica and editor in chief of Discover magazine, and is the author of Wings of Madness and The Man Who Loved Only Numbers. The recipient of the first National Magazine Award for feature writing, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Hoffman lives in Woodstock, New York." - Publisher.
