Book description
La película de Netflix La sociedad de la nieve, está nominada a los premios Oscar 2024 por España.Se cumplen cincuenta años de una de las historias más increíbles jamás contadas. Si fuera ficción resultaría inverosímil, pero es y fue verdad. En La sociedad de la nieve, publicada originalmente en 2008, todos los sobrevivientes hablaron por vez primera desde que el 13 de octubre de 1972 un avión de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya se estrellara en la cordillera de los Andes. Iban a bordo cuarenta y cinco personas, dieciséis de las cuales fallecieron en el acto o pocas horas después. Con alrededor de veinte años, a cuatro mil metros de altura y treinta grados bajo cero, sin abrigo ni comida, la relación entre víctimas y sobrevivientes se invirtió y solo regresaron con vida dieciséis En esta nueva edición especial por el aniversario del accidente, los sobrevivientes narran no solo lo que sucedió sino, fundamentalmente, lo que «nos pasó»ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFifty years after the Andean tragedy, sixteen survivors tell the story of how they overcame the insurmountable trauma.On October 13, 1972 an Uruguayan Air Force plane crashed in the Andes. Forty-five people were on board. Many died on impact, or in the hours following the crash. At over 4,000 feet above sea level, under temperatures of -22°F, and without shelter or food, the line separating victims and survivors was increasingly blurry. Only sixteen of them would make it out alive. Pablo Vierci--a close acquaintance of many of those onboard--tells us about the survivors and the victims: where they came from, what they were doing preceding the crash, their experience in the mountains, including the decision to commit cannibalism, the expedition that found them, the days following their rescue, and the life after the tragedy. All of this, from the accounts of those who managed to create a society different from any other, driven by the will to survive.
