«Der Sturm» is Sebastian Junger's report on the last voyage of the Andrea Gail, published by Heyne in paperback (in German).
It reconstructs the disappearance of the fishing boat Andrea Gail during the 1991 storm off Canada, with waves over 30 meters and winds over 160 km/h. Drawing on testimonies from fishermen who survived similar storms and from relatives, Junger documents the lives and fate of the six crew members.
German edition translated by Eckhard Kiehl from the original «The Perfect Storm» (1997); Heyne published it with 364 pages.
For non-fiction readers interested in survival and maritime disasters, as well as for those seeking the work that inspired the movie.
Sebastian Junger is an American journalist, author and filmmaker who has reported in-the-field on dirty, dangerous and demanding occupations and the experience of infantry combat. He is the author of The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea (1997) which was adapted into a major motion picture and led to a resurgence in adventure creative nonfiction writing. He covered the War in Afghanistan for more than a decade, often embedded in dangerous and remote military outposts. The book War (2010) was drawn from his field reporting for Vanity Fair, that also served as the background for the documentary film Restrepo (2010) which received the Grand Jury Prize for best documentary at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Junger's works explore themes such as brotherhood, trauma, and the relationship of the individual to society as told from the far reaches of human experience.
