On April 14, 1912, as one thousand men prepared to die, J. Bruce
Ismay, the owner of the RMS Titanic, jumped into a lifeboat filled
with women and children and rowed away to safety. He survived the
ship's sinking--but his life and reputation would never
recover.Examining Ismay through the lens of Joseph Conrad's
prophetic novel Lord Jim--and using Ismay's letters to the
beautiful Marion Thayer, a first-class passenger with whom he had
fallen in love during the voyage--biographer Frances Wilson
explores the shattered shipowner's desperate need to tell his
story, to make sense of the horror of it all, and to find a way of
living with the consciousness of his lost honor. For those who
survived the Titanic, the world was never the same. But as Wilson
superbly demonstrates, we all have our own Titanics, and we all
need to find ways of surviving them.
