About this listen
Cincuenta años después de la tragedia de los Andes, los sobrevivientes narran cómo lograron superar lo insuperable.
El 13 de octubre de 1972 un avión de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya se estrelló en la cordillera de los Andes. Iban a bordo cuarenta y cinco personas, dieciséis de las cuales fallecieron en el acto o pocas horas después. Con alrededor de veinte años, a cuatro mil metros de altura y treinta grados bajo cero, sin abrigo ni comida, la relación entre víctimas y sobrevivientes se invirtió y solo regresaron con vida dieciséis.
Pablo Vierci, compañero de colegio de los sobrevivientes y de muchos de los que murieron, recrea a través de sus voces el mundo del que provenían, los momentos previos al accidente, la experiencia en la montaña, la decisión de alimentarse de los cuerpos de sus compañeros, la expedición en busca de ayuda, los días posteriores al rescate y la vida que siguió a la tragedia. Trascendiendo la anécdota, su texto compone un mosaico grandioso sobre el que se proyectan dieciséis cordilleras, así como las historias truncas de los que no volvieron.
Tras medio siglo madurando y aprendiendo las lecciones detrás de la tragedia y la adversidad que vivieron, en un escenario desmesurado y solitario, perdidos en medio de la nada, abandonados por el mundo, quienes sobrevivieron lograron crear una sociedad diferente a todas las conocidas, marcada por un pacto de entrega mutua.
Esta edición de La sociedad de la nieve incluye una nueva introducción del autor y un texto del cineasta J.A. Bayona, director de la versión cinematográfica en Netflix.
Audiolibro narrado en español uruguayo.

Story
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.

Story
It was 13 October 1972. Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, carrying a team of young rugby players, their families and friends, took off for the very last time. A deadly miscalculation saw F571 crash directly into the Andean mountains to devastating consequences: the body of the plane broke violently into two, its floor torn to smithereens; seats flew out of the air taking passengers with them. In the weeks that followed, the remaining people who were on board - the society of the snow - emerged to fight a dire, gruelling battle for survival.

Story
It’s the unfathomable modern legend that has become a testament to the resilience of the human spirit: the 1972 Andes plane crash and the Uruguayan rugby teammates who suffered 72 days among the dead and dying. It was a harrowing test of endurance that ended in a miraculous rescue. Now comes the unflinching and emotional true story by one of the men who found his way home. Four decades after the tragedy, a climber discovered survivor Eduardo Strauch’s wallet and returned it to him. It was a gesture that compelled Strauch to finally “break the silence of the mountains.”

Se basa en una increíble historia real detrás de uno de sus símbolos más potentes: los números azules tatuados en los brazos de los prisioneros de los campos de concentración. Cuando a Lale Sokolov le fue encomendada la tarea de tatuar los números en las víctimas que –como él– eran encerradas en Auschwitz, usó la mínima libertad que su rol le permitía para intercambiar joyas y dinero de judíos asesinados por comida para ayudar a otros a sobrevivir.

Story
Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

Story
Widely hailed as a spiritual classic, this inspirational and unfailingly powerful story reveals the life and visions of the Lakota healer Nicholas Black Elk (1863–1950) and the tragic history of his Sioux people during the epic closing decades of the Old West. In 1930, the aging Black Elk met a kindred spirit, the famed poet, writer, and critic John G. Neihardt (1881–1973) on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

Llegó a ponerme la piel de gallina
Impresionante como la pelicula. Muy estremecedores todos los relatos, lo recomiendo. Es perfecto para conocer la verdadero historia de lo que sucedió, lo que tuvieron que pasar y lo que sintieron.

La narración es de muy mala calidad
Muy mala la calidad de la narración. La historia es muy buena, aunque no está muy bien escrita (escrita un poco de forma exageradamente barroca que hace perder muchas emociones por el camino). Pero la narración la destruye - me obligué a terminar el libro para conocer todos los detalles, pero demoré muchísimo más que con cualquier otro libro. Para quienes leen, recomendaría que la lean porque esta narración es muy muy mala.

Excepcionalmente conmovedor
Muy bien, narrada por voces uruguayas. La historia es profundamente conmovedora y es especial por escuchar. Las experiencias personales de cada uno de los sobrevivientes. Altamente recomendable

una visión íntima de cada uno de los sobrevivientes
conocer como cada uno de los sobrevivientes vivió está catástrofe me hace comprender más la complejidad de los humanos, lo diferentes y a la ves lo similares que somos, la narración del autor, me hizo empatizar con cada uno de los protagonistas, me llevo a ponerme sus zapatos y entender porque cada uno actuó así durante y después, entender y respetar el silencio de Pedro, la indiferencia de Bobby, la entereza de los Strauch, la desesperación de Parrado por huir, el miedo a partir de Canessa y aún así su valor al enfrentar su inminente muerte.
un libro para reflexionar sobre nuestra propia existencia.

Gran narración de una gran historia
El narrador te envuelve en una historia bellamente compuesta por historias de los sobrevivientes, cada uno aporta algo distinto. Llegué al libro por la película y con este libro se aprecia la atención al detalle del director, si les gustó la película es un libro imperdible.

El libro ofrece una visión mucho más detallada de lo que vinieron los sobrevivientes. Al escucharlos pude sentirme dentro de la historia.
