Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A harrowing, moving memoir of the 1972 plane crash that left its survivors stranded on a glacier in the Andes—and one man’s quest to lead them all home
“In straightforward, staggeringly honest prose, Nando Parrado tells us what it took—and what it actually felt like—to survive high in the Andes for seventy-two days after having been given up for dead.”—Jon Krakauer, author of Into the Wild
“In the first hours there was nothing, no fear or sadness, just a black and perfect silence.”
Nando Parrado was unconscious for three days before he woke to discover that the plane carrying his rugby team to Chile had crashed deep in the Andes, killing many of his teammates, his mother, and his sister. Stranded with the few remaining survivors on a lifeless glacier and thinking constantly of his father’s grief, Parrado resolved that he could not simply wait to die. So Parrado, an ordinary young man with no particular disposition for leadership or heroism, led an expedition up the treacherous slopes of a snowcapped mountain and across forty-five miles of frozen wilderness in an attempt to save his friends’ lives as well as his own.
Decades after the disaster, Parrado tells his story with remarkable candor and depth of feeling. Miracle in the Andes, a first-person account of the crash and its aftermath, is more than a riveting tale of true-life adventure; it is a revealing look at life at the edge of death and a meditation on the limitless redemptive power of love.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Miracle in the Andes is an astonishing account of an unimaginable ordeal. In straightforward, staggeringly honest prose, Nando Parrado tells us what it took—and what it actually felt like—to survive high in the Andes for 72 days after having been given up for dead. If you pick this book up, you will not be able to put it down.” —Jon Krakauer, author of Under the Banner of Heaven, Into Thin Air, and Into the Wild
“Unlike the cloud that obscured the mountainside, there is no haze enshrouding the meaning of life for Nando Parrado. It was in the love for his father that Nando found the motivation to survive for over two months on a Chilean glacier. As he makes his unbelievable traverse of the Andes, Nando also demonstrates the depth of his courage, faith, and perseverance that help him later transform his losses into a source of inspiration for others. Connecting our struggles to his, we readers can use Nando as our beacon and see that there is a way out of our ‘own personal Andes.’” —Aron Ralston, author of Between a Rock and a Hard Place
“Miracle in the Andes is an extraordinary book. Everybody’s philosophical hypotheticals were Nando Parrado’s real life experiences. Would I survive an aircrash? Could I eat human flesh? Would a horrific and life-threatening event affect my religious beliefs? In the end, this account benefits enormously from the maturity that time allows. It is a beautifully written and moving story.” —Peter Hillary, author of In the Ghost Country: A Lifetime Spent on the Edge

FIRST PERSON ACCOUNT OF TRAGEDY & RESILIENCE
I watched the most recent movie of this tragic life event "Society of the Snow" and then I listened to this book which brought it all together for me. The book is an amazing overview of the tragedy, loss of life, unbelievable human suffering, strength, perseverance and resilience. It depicts the incredible importance of hope and that never giving up despite having all odds against you, is a human quality that can and does save lives. I so appreciated the raw honesty the author provides from his perspective regarding individual personalities and relationships which are not always pristine of course, but the humility with which he shares them. Having the author provide and personally narrate an overview of where those who survived have been and some still are in life was a treasure to listen to at the end. This author ensured the lives of all those aboard were spoken of, and remembered. He is a gift to his fellow passengers, friends and indeed to humanity and I thank him for this work.

Best book I’ve read about this plane crash
I loved how Nando gave a personal touch to all of the people on the place. For the first time, I feel like I got to know a bit about the individual people and the role they each played in the situation. Nando and his editors did a really great job with this book. I really appreciated his honesty and candid descriptions of the situation. I also couldn’t stop listening to this book. The reader was also really great! Very well done.

One of the best book I have read
This book is about so much more than the human resilience. It’s a bit scientific, faith, thrust, human behavior and more. I think about that story many times when I go on in my own life. It did really marked me. Can’t recommend enough.

Should have ended sooner
Of course, an amazing story of human resiliency. Fully being aware of the story, I still couldn't stop reading. I appreciated the personal touch the author has brought to the story. But the book is far too long, in my opinion. A full few chapters too long, and those "extra" chapters are not that easy to read through either.
