Carlitos Páez: After the Tenth Day

Carlos Páez Vilaró
4.22/5 (69 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
The experience of the survivors of the tragedy of the Andes, told by one of its protagonists. It covers all the aspects covered in the film Alive!, but it's not a detailed chronology of the events, but of his own personal experience. Carlitos Páez offers a different, movingly personal, look at a tragic fact of which much has been written.

In this book the reader is sure that he approaches the opinions, and comments, of a man who shows the value of confessing, without euphemisms, the different mountain ranges that, beyond the Andes, he had to face in his life. Seldom as clearly as in this, it is possible to enter the lesser-known psychological corners of someone who, against his will, became a public figure known to most of the inhabitants of his country, and abroad.

His sincerity, and the clarity with which he talks about the most traumatic events that occurred in the mountains, and beyond, are striking. Being a survivor of such a tragedy, despite the privilege of staying alive - or maybe for that very reason - is not an easy task. Gone are the dead, and the endless days lived in the middle of nowhere, cold, hunger, and thirst. However, Paez has managed to get up on the difficulties born in his past - and still in his present - as well as to build a hopeful discourse from a single, and decisive element: the exposition of his truth.

In short, this book tells the story of how teamwork worked, the creativity that emerged in daily life, the struggle to tolerate frustration, the attitude - the fundamental word to define this story - and the way in which they were fulfilling small goals that made it possible to reach the great final goal.
