Información del producto

‘Learned, cheeky, risky, touching, tough, compassionate, nostalgic, worshipful… The Right Stuff is superb.’
  1. New York Times
‘What is it that makes a man willing to sit up on top of an enormous Roman candle, and wait for someone to light the fuse?’ In The Right Stuff, hailed as one of the greatest books ever written about space flight, Tom Wolfe sets out to answer the question, and lays bare the mindset and motivations of the first American astronauts to risk life and limb to beat the Soviets into orbit. He blows apart the mythology of the Mercury Seven – Deke Slayton, Gus Grissom, Alan Shepard, Wally Schirra, John Glenn, Scott Carpenter and Gordon Cooper – and the forerunner of them all, supersonic test pilot Chuck Yeager. Dazzlingly written, this is a thrilling account of men who ‘pushed the edge of the envelope’ at work and play, all to prove they possessed the quality that Wolfe famously christened the right stuff. Opening with a new introduction by space historian Andrew Chaikin and featuring Tavis Coburn’s striking retro-styled graphic illustrations, this is an exceptional edition of a 20th-century classic from the Folio Society.

The book is better still than the film which itself was good. The illustrated cover looks futuristic & made me want to examine the book in more detail.

Very happy to have this in a folio edition. Had a paper edition of this book years ago. Read it and discarded. Folio editions are worth it for the exclusive collection of books you really love.

Fantastic volume, with some lovely design flourishes. I was lucky enough to pick this up in the sale and felt that I'd scored a bargain. At full price, this is one book that justifies the slight price hike above "regular" Folio hardbacks. A cracking read to boot.
