«La tormenta perfecta» is the non-fiction account by Sebastian Junger, published by Debolsillo in paperback (299 pages, in Spanish).
The book tells the true story of the Andrea Gail, a deep-sea fishing vessel that in 1991 was caught in an extraordinary storm in the North Atlantic. Junger reconstructs the event, the lives of the crew and their families' wait, and reflects on the seafaring trade, danger and survival in the face of nature's fury.
Translation by Cari Baena of the original The Perfect Storm, in the Jet collection from Debolsillo (No. 424); it was adapted into a movie by Warner Bros.
Will appeal to readers of non-fiction and true survival stories, as well as those familiar with the Warner Bros. movie adaptation.
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.
