Through the direct testimony of the sixteen survivors of the plane crash in the Andes, Pablo Vierci reconstructs the seventy-two days they spent at an altitude of four thousand meters, in thirty degrees below zero, and without resources. Each protagonist narrates in the first person how they lived through that extreme experience, how they understood death, and how the accident marked the rest of their lives. A unique testimony that transcends the chronicle of a disaster to become a reflection on human resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn October 13, 1972, a plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby team crashed in the Andes mountain range. For seventy-two days, the survivors, all young men around twenty years old, fought to stay alive in extreme conditions: temperatures of thirty degrees below zero, without adequate warm clothing, without food, and with no possibility of rescue. This book gathers the testimony of the sixteen survivors, who speak for the first time since the accident. Pablo Vierci, a schoolmate of the protagonists, accompanied them and their children to the site of the tragedy to reconstruct those days. Each chapter offers the personal vision of a survivor, addressing how they faced the situation, how they understood suffering and death, and how that experience transformed their later lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSurvival in extreme conditions and extreme decision-making.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHuman resilience and the ability to adapt in the face of adversity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReflection on death, pain, and the meaning of life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollective memory and first-person testimony of a historical event.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHuman relationships and solidarity in crisis situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in true stories of survival, accounts of personal overcoming, and biographical testimonies.

The book's main strength lies in the plurality of voices: each survivor offers their version of events, which enriches the narrative and avoids a single or simplified vision. Pablo Vierci achieves a balance between documentary rigor and narrative sensitivity, offering a read that is as gripping for the raw nature of the events as it is for the depth of its reflections. It is an essential book for those who seek to understand not only what happened, but how an experience that challenges the limits of humanity is lived and remembered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ED.ALREVES,S.L","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407404753243,"sku":"9788418584756","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841858475.jpg?v=1781854707","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788418584756","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
