{"product_id":"9781628732818","title":"Man on Wire","description":"More than a quarter-century before September 11,  2001, the World Trade Center was immortalized by an act of unprecedented daring and beauty. In  August 1974, a young Frenchman named Philippe  Petit boldly—and illegally—fixed a rope between  the tops of the still-young Twin Towers, a  quarter mile off the ground. At daybreak,  thousands of spectators gathered to watch in awe and adulation as he traversed the rope a full  eight times in the course of an hour. In \u003ci\u003eMan on Wire\u003c\/i\u003e, Petit recounts the six years he  spent preparing for this achievement. It is a  fitting tribute to those lost-but-not-forgotten  symbols of human aspiration—the Twin Towers.","brand":"Skyhorse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151881388272,"sku":"9781628732818","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781628732818_p0.jpg?v=1763869925","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781628732818","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
