Popis knihy

Captivating, charming . . . . [Kelly] pulls back the curtain separating the myth of the astronaut from its human realities. . . . It is easy to imagine future generations of explorers and daredevils harnessing the lessons and truths within the pages of 'Endurance' as the blueprints for their own trips into the unknown. -Jaroslav Kalfar, The New York Times Book Review [Endurance] is a memoir of the right stuff that will hypnotize any space geek. -The Wall Street Journal Kelly brings life in space alive-the wonder and awe of it, and also the jagged edges, the rough parts of living in confined quarters in an alien element, far from everything familiar and beloved. . . . Endurance, with its honest, gritty descriptions of an unimaginable life, a year off Earth, is as close as most readers will come to making that voyage themselves. -The Financial Times Kelly's account is insightful, at times humorous, heart-tugging at others. And it's inspiring enough to change the life of some lost kid, just like The Right Stuff did for him. -USA Today For space junkies, it's absolutely required reading. . . . We feel as though we're right there with him. A great book. -Booklist Scott Kelly's saga is a deeply absorbing and vivid look at a year in space and the many trials and rigors of living weightless inside a football field-sized machine traveling at 17,000 miles per hour. But Endurance satisfies far more than the reader's technological curiosities; it is replete with humor, thrills, surreal details, and recurring moments of ordinary humanity that turn Kelly's tale into a loving tribute to the pioneering individuals who risk all to shepherd man's exploration of the vast beyond. -Khaled Hosseini, author of And the Mountains Echoed Read this book and you will believe in our American future, thrill at our human potential, and laugh at the absurdities of life. Endurance is about excellence and perspective, a memorable read. -Senator Bill Bradley This isn't your usual astronaut's memoir. -The Philadelphia Tribune Scott Kelly's book is as close as I and most everyone else on Earth will ever get to experiencing the fascinating, complex, almost preposterously dangerous business of going into space. When I closed the covers, I felt like I had been out there. Endurance is an utterly gripping book that can stand comfortably in the company of Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff. -Charles C. Mann, author of 1491 Scott Kelly's memoir of his year in space and all that preceded it is the real thing-honest, dramatic, illuminating, and simply riveting. With clear, compelling writing, he reveals the nature of space exploration, the current state of the space program, and the raw experience of leaving Earth as has no other book. -T.J. Stiles, author of Custer's Trials
