Vivos bajo tierra (Buried Alive): La historia verdadera de los 33 mineros chilenos (The True Story of the 33 Chilean Miners) (Spanish Edition)
Library Journal review: "The story of the 33 Chilean miners trapped at a depth of more than 700 meters for 69 days in the San Jose mine is a riveting tale of courage, faith, and perseverance of the human spirit. Told by Pino Toro, a Chilean journalist, who was present at the rescue site and interviewed rescue officials, family members, and the rescued miners, this account is written in a suspenseful fashion that exposes the raw emotions of the families, the country, and the world as the uncertainty over the fate of the miners unfolds in dramatic fashion. From the moment of the explosion, to the jubilation two weeks later when it was discovered all 33 miners were still alive, to the torturous and interminable wait of more than 69 days for their rescue, the author applies his journalistic skills to bring the reader the experience of living, praying, and waiting in Camp Esperanza. The evolution of the rescue plans, the details of the miner's daily schedule, and the anguish of the family members waiting for their loved ones to appear from the depths of the mine, keep the reader engrossed in this real-life drama and uplifting story of triumph. The photographs of each of the 33 miners, with their name, age, and time they were rescued pack an emotional punch. Highly recommended for all public libraries and general bookstores."--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
