In this poetic handbook, written when he was just twenty-three, the
world-famous high-wire artist Philippe Petit offers a window into
the world of his craft. Petit masterfully explains how preparation
and self-control contributed to such feats as walking between the
towers of Notre Dame and the World Trade Center. Addressing such
topics as the rigging of the wire, the walker's first steps, his
salute and exercises, and the work of other renowned high-wire
artists, Petit offers us a book about the ecstasy of conquering our
fears and reaching for the stars.
