Z ticha – Strauch Urioste Eduardo (2022)

On October 13, 1972, a plane crashed in the Andes. However, the chilling drama was just beginning. After 72 days, one-third of the passengers and crew were rescued. A story of survival, hope, and spiritual awakening amidst unspeakable tragedy, penned by one of the survivors. In his narrative, we gradually find everything that happened at that time: incidents on the journey, the crash, the first touch of death, initial paralysis, the terrifying certainty that the survivors are all alone, the decision to eat human flesh, an avalanche, exploratory expeditions, rescue... The book "Out of the Silence" represents not only a journey into the past but also into the depths of the human soul. How is fear experienced? What does silence speak to us? Can happiness be experienced in hell? How does it happen that someone sinks while others, even weaker or less intelligent, become heroes? How can the instinct to survive be influenced by love, friendship, and family? Can the consumption of human flesh become a kind of collective transformation? How can one live with death, with foreign demons, but especially with one's own demons? The book is released on the fiftieth anniversary of the event.
