Beskrivelse

In this rich episode of Faces Of History, Thee Duke Of New York takes you skyward into the life of Gustave Eiffel — the boy from Dijon who built bridges that defied gravity and an iron tower that became the soul of Paris. Discover his humble beginnings, his battles, the scandal that nearly ruined him, and his quiet final years turning his tower into a laboratory for the future. More than an engineer — Eiffel was a dreamer of wind and steel, reminding us that the boldest visions can outlast the harshest critics. Sit back, look up, and remember: sometimes the world’s greatest monuments begin with a single spark. "What would you have said to Eiffel if you could stand beside him at the top of the Tower?
