Nando Parrado lay unconscious for three days, and then woke up and found out that the aircraft on which he flew with the team of the rugbyists, accompanied by his closest relatives and fans into a friendly match in Chile, crashed somewhere high in the Andes. It soon became clear that many of the passengers died or die, including his mother and sister. The survivors during the crash were trapped on a lifeless glacier at an altitude of more than 3,600 meters above sea level, without any supplies and without the opportunity to call for help. With great difficulty, they survived frosts, deadly avalanches and ... hunger. And then the terrifying news that the rescuers stopped looking for them.
Nando decided that his duty was to return home or to die. This was a desperate decision, but at the same time - the only chance of salvation. So, Nando - the most ordinary guy, is not inclined to leadership or heroism - led the expedition in an attempt to find help. He had to go up the treacherously insidious slopes of the mountain crowned with a snow cap, and then - after seventy kilometers of a frozen desert.
“Miracle in the Andes” - an amazing story about an unimaginable test. In direct, stunningly honest prose, Nando Parrado tells readers what it took - and what it really turned out to be - to survive high in the Andes and hold out as for 72 days after the victims of the aircraft left to die. You only need to take this book in your hands, and you can no longer postpone it! ” - John Krakauer, the author of the bestsellers “in wild conditions”, “in the sparse air”, “under the banner of heaven”, etc.
“In contrast to the situation when the slopes of the mountain are closed with crawling clouds, no fog hides the meaning of Nando Pordrado life. It was in the love of Father Nando to survive the motivation to survive for two months on the Chilean glacier. Making his incredible transition through the Andes, Nando also demonstrated the depth of courage, faith and perseverance, which later helped him turn his losses into an inspiration source for others. Combining our struggle with his struggle, we readers can perceive the example of Nando as a guiding bacillus and understand that there is a way out of our “own Andes”, ”Aron Ralston, the author of the world bestseller“ 127 hours. Between the hammer and the anvil
