The 33

The book that inspired the film The 33 starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Cote de Pablo, and Antonio Banderas: "A riveting account of a remarkable disaster." ―Larry Getlan, New York Post A Finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award A Finalist for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize A New York Times Book Review Notable Book Selected for NPR's Morning Edition Book Club When the San José mine collapsed outside of Copiapó, Chile, in August 2010, it trapped thirty-three miners beneath thousands of feet of rock for a record-breaking sixty-nine days. After the disaster, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Héctor Tobar received exclusive access to the miners and their tales, and in The 33,he brings them to haunting, visceral life. We learn what it was like to be imprisoned inside a mountain, understand the horror of being slowly consumed by hunger, and experience the awe of working in such a place—underground passages filled with danger and that often felt alive. A masterwork of narrative journalism and a stirring testament to the power of the human spirit, The 33 captures the profound ways in which the lives of everyone involved in the catastrophe were forever changed. Previously published as Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine, and the Miracle That Set Them Free. "A masterful account of exile and human longing, of triumph in the face of all odds. Taut with suspense and moments of tenderness and replete with a cast of unforgettable characters, [The 33] ranks with the best of adventure literature." ―Scott Wallace, Los Angeles Times
