«Alive» is Piers Paul Read's account of the Andes plane crash, published by Harper Perennial in paperback (448 pages, in English).
In October 1972, a Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying a rugby team crashed in the Andes. Ten weeks later, only sixteen of the forty-five passengers were still alive. Piers Paul Read recounts how, sheltering in the fuselage and without food, they held out until two of them crossed the mountain range to seek help.
The work originally appeared in 1974 under the title «Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors». This P.S. edition includes sixteen additional pages of interviews and supplementary material.
For readers of non-fiction, real survival stories and accounts of disasters.
British writer (born 1941)
