Krátky popis
It was 13 October 1972. Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, carrying a
team of young rugby players, their families and friends, took off
for the very last time. A deadly miscalculation saw F571 crash
directly into the Andean mountains to devastating consequences: the
body of the plane broke violently into two, its floor torn to
smithereens, seats flew out of the air taking passengers with
them.In the weeks that followed, the remaining people who were on
board - the society of the snow - emerged to fight a dire,
gruelling battle for survival. Waiting for a rescue team that
didn't arrive, the survivors became fewer and fewer in numbers.
Stranded alone on a glacier, they had to face brutal temperatures,
lethal avalanches and the loss of friends and family with no access
to supplies, food or water.In order to survive, they had to do the
unthinkable . . .It wasn't until seventy-two days later that they
were able to reach safety. Alarmingly gritty, moving and powerfully
told, journalist Pablo Vierci recounts the unsettling stories of
the sixteen survivors in intimate detail. Drawing on exclusive
interviews, Society of the Snow delves into the tragedy of the
crash and how it radically redefined the rest of the survivors'
lives.Ultimately, however, the book is a touching testament to the
strength of faith, friendship, and the resilience of the human
spirit.
