Esta es la emocionante historia real de la 'Tormenta del Siglo', un fenómeno meteorológico sin precedentes que tuvo lugar en octubre de 1991. Sebastian Junger recrea con maestría los últimos momentos de la tripulación del pesquero Andrea Gail, atrapada en medio de una colisión de tres sistemas climáticos distintos en el Atlántico Norte. El libro ofrece una crónica detallada de la lucha del hombre contra las fuerzas implacables de la naturaleza, combinando una investigación rigurosa con una narrativa tensa y conmovedora que explora la vida de los pescadores de Gloucester y los heroicos esfuerzos de rescate realizados durante la tempestad.
Sebastian Junger is an American journalist, author and filmmaker who has reported in-the-field on dirty, dangerous and demanding occupations and the experience of infantry combat. He is the author of The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea (1997) which was adapted into a major motion picture and led to a resurgence in adventure creative nonfiction writing. He covered the War in Afghanistan for more than a decade, often embedded in dangerous and remote military outposts. The book War (2010) was drawn from his field reporting for Vanity Fair, that also served as the background for the documentary film Restrepo (2010) which received the Grand Jury Prize for best documentary at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Junger's works explore themes such as brotherhood, trauma, and the relationship of the individual to society as told from the far reaches of human experience.
