Norman Mailer. MoonFire: The Epic Journey of Apollo 11 - Reviews
"If I ever had a dream that I could see in one volume the feeling of what Apollo should encompass, you have accomplished that.... The whole design, the choreography, the sense of pace, is absolutely magnificent. So many books have come out over the decades, but this actually purveys the feeling of that time radiantly. I think it will hold up over many, many the years, and of course having Mailer's writing is graceful.Michael Soluri, Photographer and Space Photography Expert, New YorkUnited States |

"Norman Mailer, a writer once known for his towering ego, enjoyed the release of an equally over-sized book last Friday. Fans of Mailer gathered in the sleek reading room of the TASCHEN bookstore in Soho to commemorate the posthumous release, 'Moonfire: The Epic Journey of Apollo 11', a massive coffee table book based on his extensive coverage of the Moon landing for Life Magazine in 1969... The book's large size and stress on visual presentation certainly reinvent the original work."Huffington Post, New YorkUnited States |

"We found the gift you're looking for: The new edition of Norman Mailer's MoonFire, his epic tale of the Apollo 11 moonlaunch. The billionaire hook? This one, reissued by TASCHEN, comes in a special edition, with its very own piece of lunar rock, and a case designed by Marc Newson...The case itself has detail cues--ranging from the feet to the struts--lifted from the Apollo 11 lunar lander. It's crafted from a single piece of aluminum, and the surface is an topographical reproduction of a section of the moon's surface."FastCompany.com, New YorkUnited States |

"You could lose hours wondering what the experience was like for those who were on board Apollo 11 to explore the mysteries of the moon. However, for all who are fascinated by the giant leap of mankind, the Lunar Rock edition can ease the stress."BornRich.org, New YorkUnited States |

"TASCHEN, purveyor of big, sexy coffee-table books (and book coffee-tables) to rich the masses has really outdone itself this time. Its reissue of a Norman Mailer tome, Moonfire, comes in an aluminum case, sports a quartet of legs - sorry, make that Apollo11-esque struts - rumpled up its front cover to resemble the moon's surface, and - and this is the best bit of all - found a playmate in the shape of a piece of lunar rock that comes in a specially-designed Marc Newson case."Dvice.com, New YorkUnited States |

"Illustriert wird der Band von hunderten der besten Fotografien und Plänen aus den Schatzkammern der NASA, Zeitschriftenarchiven und Privatsammlungen. Die größtenteils unveröffentlichten Abbildungen dokumentieren die Entwicklung der Raumfahrtbehörde und der Mission, das Leben in der Kommandokapsel und auf der Mondoberfläche sowie die begeisterten Reaktionen der Welt."Video Kamera Objektiv, MünchenGermany |

"Il y a quarante ans, Neil Armstrong posait sa boot dans la poussière lunaire. Au même moment, Norman Mailer relatait pour Life Magazine l'histoire extraordinaire de cette épopée astrohumaine. En 2009, TASCHEN réunit le texte de l'écrivain américain et plusieurs centaines de photos historiques de la NASA dans un livre anniversaire. Un gros bouquin tiré à 1969 exemplaires - on aime le symbolique des chiffres chez l'éditeur allemand - accompagné d'un cliché signé Buzz Aldrin (...)."Edelweiss Men, SwitzerlandSwitzerland |
