Book Description

#1 New York Times Bestseller“No one will come away unmoved by the book, and no one will be able to put it down…. There is no way of reading Alive without a heightened sense of one’s own life and its value.” — New RepublicSixteen Men, Seventy-Two Days, and Insurmountable Odds—the Classic Adventure of Survival in the AndesOn October 12, 1972, an Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying a team of rugby players crashed in the remote snowy peaks of the Andes. Ten weeks later, only sixteen of the forty-five passengers were found alive. This is the story of those ten weeks spent in the shelter of the plane's fuselage without food and with scarcely any hope of a rescue. The survivors protected and helped one another, and came to the difficult conclusion that to live meant doing the unimaginable. Confronting nature at its most furious, two brave young men risked their lives to hike through the mountains looking for help. A tale of astonishing bravery and adventure, Alive is much more than a survival story, it is a breathtaking saga of human courage The P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including interviews, recommended reading, and more.

I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
