Product Information

He relaxed and thought with resignation that he was about to die; even if he could escape he might be the only one to do so, and perhaps it would be better to die than to survive alone, isolated in the Andes. The book inspired the song "The Plot Sickens" on the album Every Trick in the Book by the American metalcore band Ice Nine Kills. I would only recommend this book to a reader who was intensely interested in the events and who was christian. The book goes into failrly graphic detail of the dynamics of what the survivors did, but it also goes into the intense discussion and self-revelation they went through in deciding to eat their friends and family as well as the fallout when they got home. Keith Mano of The New York Times Book Review gave the book a "rave" review, stating that "Read's style is savage: unliterary, undecorated as a prosecutor's brief.

Her disappearance is totally out of character and DI Isabel Blood and her team soon suspect foul play.This wish was almost met, for a second avalanche hit the plane an hour or so after the first, but because the entrance was already blocked, most of this second fall passed over the plane.

Alive is a 1993 American biographical survival drama film based on Piers Paul Read's 1974 book Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors, which details a Uruguayan rugby team's crash aboard Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 into the Andes mountains on October 13, 1972. More important still, they had started to single out the fittest among them as potential expeditionaries who would master the Andes and get help.

Esta historia de supervivencia no es enteramente sobre una amorosa hermandad o una lucha en unidad para sobrevivir.Nowhere in this book is the reader told what they should feel about sensitive subject matter, and yet it was told in such a way that I felt involved–a spectator and visitor to the stranded fuselage that served as home to the survivors.

Seeing the movie Alive reasonates more because you see how young these men were and the constant struggle to survive and keep their humanity. The author describes some of the young men as, variously, violent, immature, and arrogant, and he goes into detail about the strife and bitter arguments amongst the survivors. A game plan is formed, and from here on out, expeditions are planned to see if they can summit the mountain and look for a path for rescue.Escasamente con nada de comida o agua, sufriendo temperaturas bajo cero, sólo dieciséis de cuarenta y cinco sobrevivieron. Incidentally, the “walk out” chapters are quite possibly the most exciting passages I’ve ever read, though you need the run-up of the entire beginning to understand why. I reckon we all have heard about the airplane accident over the Andes in October 1972 and how some passengers managed to survive by turning to cannibalism. The main characteristics of the project are to be found in its simplicity and positive approach – a mobile collection of ‘Books’ where visitors are given the opportunity to speak informally with ‘people on loan’; where the ‘Books’ are people and reading is a conversation.
