En octubre de 1991, un fenómeno meteorológico sin precedentes azotó la costa este de Norteamérica, conocido como 'la tormenta del siglo'. En 'La tormenta perfecta', Sebastian Junger describe las condiciones que dieron lugar a este evento y reconstruye tres historias: la de los seis tripulantes del pesquero Andrea Gail, la de un velero atrapado en la tormenta y la del rescate de los tripulantes de un helicóptero de salvamento. A través de comunicaciones de radio y relatos de testigos, Junger recrea la lucha por la supervivencia de estos hombres y ofrece un retrato de la gente de mar. Este libro es un clásico del género, una crónica sobrecogedora que te hará sentir el terror de una tormenta en alta mar.
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.
