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 Man on Wire, 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.
