Miracle in the Andes by Nando Parrado Book Summary

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—now in a special edition for 2022, commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the crash, featuring a new introduction by the author

“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.

Not Sure.... Ok so I just finished the sample and I am trying to decide wether to buy the book or not. 10.99 is a high price for a book but I really liked the sample. Could you guys either talk me into buying it or out for buying it. I know there are a lot of people who like it but as I said its a good chunk of change.

Amazing. Beautifully written, my favorite book of all time ❤️

Gross, not inspirational, graphic cannibalism. I should never have bought this book.

This book changed my life!!!!. I cannot even express how much I love this book. After having to read it for a school project(which usually results in a strong dislike towards the books), I am honestly surprised that it could be as enjoyable as it was. Reading it has given me a new realization on the perspectives of life, that everything can change in an instant, that even though things seem hard, it all gets better. But perhaps the most important lesson that I learned while reading this book, is that love, yes, L-O-V-E, conquers all. It is the strongest force, the glue that bonds us all together, the thing that everyone believes in. Love. Whether it be love for a friend, a pet, a partner, a place, yourself, anything at all. Love is what makes life worth while. I would really like to say thank you to Nando, you really made me appreciate everything that I have in my life, the good and the bad. The memories of hard times, the hope for the good. All of it, I have reason to be thankful.

Must read!!. This book is a must read! 10/10 it's one of the best books. I was hooked from the minute I started reading until the end. It's an incredible story of survival and will power from a group of amazing individuals.

Awesome!!!!. This book is very inspirational. I watched the movie when I was only 10 and could not really comprehend what was happening but I stumbled upon this again a few months ago and decided to read the book and was not able to put it down. Great read!

I recommend it!. This book is amazing. I couldnt put it down. AMAZING story!

More emotional than Alive. Past depictions of this story felt like an outsider looking in , this book feels as if you are experiencing the event. This writer does an amazing job of sharing his thoughts and feelings with so much detail . I feel as if I also suffered the Andes.
