Überleben

On October 12, 1972, a charter plane crashes in the snow-covered peaks of the Andes, carrying a Uruguayan rugby team along with their friends and family. At an altitude of 3,657 meters above sea level, the survivors must fight against death—without food and without hope for rescue. They must endure freezing temperatures and deadly avalanches, only to learn that the search for them has been called off. In response, three of them undertake a life-threatening and treacherous descent to seek help. Meanwhile, those who remain must make an unimaginable decision to ensure their own survival. This bestseller has sold over 5 million copies worldwide and has been compellingly adapted into a film starring Ethan Hawke.
