Oriana proved to be a successful ship but the collapse of the Australian liner market meant she became a permanent cruise ship, operating in the summer from Southampton and from Sydney in winter.

Oriana silently crept by the Passe de L'ouest at 6:30am for the five-mile northerly river passage to the berth amid another beautiful red sunrise.

 Amazon.com: The Rage and The Pride: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
With her well-known courage Oriana Fallaci faces the themes unchained by the Islamic terrorism: the contrast and, in her opinion, incompatibility between the Islamic world and the Western world; the global reality of the Jihad and the lack of response, the lenience of the West.
The text is enriched by a dramatic preface in which Oriana Fallaci reveals how The Rage and the Pride was born, grew up, and detachedly calls it "my small book." In addition, a preface in which she tells significant episodes of her extraordinary life and explains her unreachable isolation, her demanding and inflexible choices.
Oriana Fallaci has led the sort of life that is in and of itself worthy of a novel or ten.

 Rod Dreher on Oriana Fallaci & The Rage and the Pride on National Review Online
Oriana Fallaci, the 72-year-old Italian semi-exile who was once the most famous journalist in the world, was one New Yorker who did not wrestle with her fury; rather, she let it erupt in a book-length screed published in Italy's leading newspaper 18 days after the attacks, under the title The Rage and the Pride.
This is in part because Fallaci's rhetorical blasts were directed primarily at a European audience, but mostly because the name Oriana Fallaci, which all but the youngest Europeans knows well, says nothing to Americans.
Though The Rage and the Pride is not really meant for American readers, Oriana Fallaci brings it all back home, and speaks more necessary truth in her unfettered fury than you'll hear from more politely equivocating souls.
