Norman Mailer. MoonFire: The Epic Journey of Apollo 11 - Rezensionen
| "When Life magazine wanted to cover the first moon landing and the development work that had made it possible, it turned to journalist and writer Norman Mailer, whose extended essay spanned three issues. Forty years later, his text has been reissued in a limited-edition book illustrated with rarely seen photos extracted from NASA and Life archives."— newscientist.com, London, Großbritannien | |
| "MoonFire Numbers 1 to 1957 will go for $1,000 apiece; editions numbered 1958 to 1969 come with a certified piece of moon meteorite. The price for those 12 editions is upon request, but expect a steep increase - if you can even get your hands on one."— NYTimes.com, New York, USA | |
| "Parmi les ouvrages qui sortent cet été pour célébrer le 40e anniversaire de l'alunissage d'Apollo 11, le plus prestigieux (et coûteux) est certainement celui de TASCHEN. Il reprend le texte mythique de Norman Mailer, "Bivouac sur la lune", commandé par le magazine "Life". Avec son diplôme d'ingénieur aéronautique de Harvard, Mailer était l'homme de la situation. Mais l'époque est au nouveau journalisme. Il n'écrit pas que ce qu'il voit mais ce qu'il ressent, vit, imagine, extrapole. L'écriture est libérée, un peu folle, passionnante. TASCHEN confronte le texte de Mailer aux spectaculaires photos d'archives de la Nasa et du magazine "Life", dans une édition limitée à 1 957 exemplaires (750 euros pièce), placée dans un coffret collector avec hublot en plexiglas."— lalibre.be, Belgien | |
| "For anyone on the fence about ordering Moonfire, TASCHEN's Web page for the book now has a "Leaf Through" feature (upper right) that allows you to view every page spread online. The resolution isn't high enough to read the text, but you can see all the illustrations and see how the page layouts are designed. Personally, I'm even more excited about receiving my copy than before!"— CollectSpace.com, Houston, USA | |
| "Famously edgy illustrated book publisher TASCHEN is about to release its biggest project since GOAT, the $5000 homage to Muhammad Ali it published in 2004. Next month, Norman Mailer, MoonFire: The Epic Journey of Apollo 11 will go on sale for $1,000. The 350-page slipcased hardcover will be Mailer's first posthumously published book, and each book will come with a signed, framed, numbered gelatin photograph of astronaut Buzz Aldrin."— Publisher's Weekly, New York, USA | |
| "Leading art book publisher TASCHEN has not let the 40th anniversary go unheralded; its book Norman Mailer, MoonFire: The Epic Journey of Apollo 11 is available in a limited edition of 1,969 copies....The Apollo mission's incongruous blend of the everyday and the magnificent comes alive in hundreds of photographs... It's still stunning. Yet it was also human: At the moment of the moon landing, Buzz Aldrin's wife, Joan, is captured turning her face away from the television, a blur of emotion... we haven't been back since 1972, perhaps the discovery of water on the moon will prompt a return. There's another way to touch the moon, though - 12 copies of this book come with genuine lunar rock."— Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, USA | |
