After the disaster, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Héctor Tobar received exclusive access to the miners and their tales, and in <i>The 33, </i>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, <i>The 33</i> captures the profound ways in which the lives of the Chilean miners and everyone involved in the catastrophe were forever changed.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"My favorite book of the year.
