Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Neuware - The epic firsthand chronicle of the nineteenth century's greatest engineering triumph: laying the first transatlantic telegraph cable.In the mid-19th century, news moved no faster than steamships could cross stormy seas. Sending a dispatch between London and New York took weeks, isolating two hemispheres and leaving diplomacy, commerce, and human lives at the mercy of distance. To dream of transmitting words across thousands of miles of uncharted ocean floor in mere seconds was widely dismissed as impossible.One man believed otherwise.In The Story of the Atlantic Cable, visionary American entrepreneur Cyrus W. Field recounts the breathtaking saga of audacity, repeated heartbreak, and ultimate victory that birthed the modern telecommunications era. From the first spark of inspiration in 1854 to the final triumph in 1866, Field takes readers behind the scenes of a monumental undertaking that pushed human ingenuity and technology to their absolute limits.Inside this gripping historical account, you will discover: - The Mind of a Relentless Visionary: Experience the trials directly through the eyes of the man who risked his fortune, health, and reputation to unite two worlds.- Agony on the High Seas: Relive the catastrophic early expeditions-snapped cables vanishing into two-mile-deep oceanic trenches, violent North Atlantic gales, and the heartbreak of silence on the wire.- Victorian Marvels of Engineering: Step aboard the legendary iron leviathan, the SS Great Eastern, as it accomplishes what conventional vessels could not: spooling and laying thousands of tons of deep-sea copper cable across the Atlantic abyss.- The Dawn of Instant Global Communication: Witness the electrifying moment when Queen Victoria and President James Buchanan exchanged the world's first transatlantic messages, shrinking an ocean into a heartbeat.More than a technical chronicle, The Story of the Atlantic Cable is a masterclass in resilience-a testament to what can be achieved when scientific daring meets immovable determination.Essential reading for lovers of maritime history, technological breakthroughs, and epic true stories of human achievement.…
