In To Reach the Clouds, Philippe Petit re-creates a six-year quest to realize his dream, an adventure as thrilling as the walk itself. In an unforgettable memoir he tells the story of how he conspired, connived, improvised and insisted his way to this 'coup', abetted by a motley crew of accomplices, the occasional miracle and his own unflagging passion. He reveals himself to be not only a virtuoso of the air but also a bold and inspired performer on the page.
