About this product

Product Information

Este es el libro definitivo sobre los sobrevivientes de los Andes. El 13 de octubre de 1972 un avi n se estrell en Los Andes, y a los pocos d as se suspendieron las labores de b squeda y todos los ocupantes fueron dados por muertos. Setenta y tres d as despu s del accidente, los diecis is supervivientes volvieron al mundo. Pablo Vierci, compa ero de colegio de todos ellos, ha logrado que los diecis is hablen por primera vez desde el accidente que los arroj con apenas veinte a os a los Andes, a cuatro mil metros de altura, con veinte grados bajo cero, sin abrigo ni comida. Cada uno de los diecis is recuerda en primera persona c mo fueron esos d as en la cordillera, c mo superaron esa situaci n l mite, c mo entendieron la muerte, qu signific el accidente y c mo influy en su vida posterior. La extraordinaria recreaci n de los momentos previos al accidente, la supervivencia en la monta a, el alud que mat a ocho de ellos, la decisi n de alimentarse de los cuerpos de los compa eros, la expedici n en busca de ayuda, los d as posteriores al rescate y la vida a partir de entonces, convierten este libro en una obra esencial para conocer la capacidad del ser humano de enfrentarse a situaciones extremas y superarlas; para aprender c mo, en la tragedia y la adversidad, en un escenario desmesurado y solitario, se logra crear una sociedad diferente a todas las conocidas, definida por la misericordia y la obligaci n de ir m s all de lo posible. Su relato puede convertirse en la mejor gu a para superar cualquier cordillera. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This is the definitive book about the survivors in the Andes. The biggest story that was never told. Each survivor gives his or her personal testimony and tells how the accident has influenced life, both then and now. Vierci chillingly recreates the most important moments in the story: the departure from the Montevideo airport, those who didn't travel because they arrived late or were ill, the accident, the injuries, the avalanche, the first expeditions in search of help, the group's organization, the death of the rugby team's coach, the news that they were considered dead and that the searches had been called off, the discovery of the airplane's tail, the rescue, the last expedition: a week of hiking at 4,000 meters of altitude and 20 degrees below zero, finding the Chilean shepherd, the first questions by the Chilean press after their rescue, the return home.
