Les Survivants - Piers paul Read 1976

Le 13 octobre 1972, à  la suite d'une erreur de pilotage, l'avion qui transportait une équipe uruguayenne de joueurs de rugby, leurs amis et leurs parents; s'écrasa dans les Andes.

 

II y avait quarante-cinq personnes à bord. Vingt sept d'entre elles survécurent à l'accident. Ils ne savaient pas où ils se trouvaient, n'avaient aucune provision, aucun moyen de signaler leur position.

 

Les recherches conduites par l'Uruguay, le Chili et l'Argentine furent inutiles. Pour subsister, les survivants entreprirent de manger leurs morts. Certains ne purent s'y résoudre aussitôt, mais bientôt, un à un, il leur fallut céder.

 

Un second malheur, le 29 octobre, les frappa. Une avalanche submergea les débris de l'avion où ils dormaient et huit d'entre eux moururent ce jour-là.

Trois autres devaient succomber aux suites de leurs blessures, il n'y avait dans l'avion ni médicaments ni instruments ni chirurgien qualifié.

 

Les parents, ou du moins ceux d'entre eux qui ne croyaient pas à la mort de leurs enfants et que soulevait une foi indomptable, explorèrent les Andes pied à pied autour des lieux où ils supposaient que l'avion était tombé.

 

Les recherches privées échouèrent comme avaient échoué les recherches officielles. II fallut que les survivants constituent un corps expéditionnaire comprenant les trois, puis les deux des plus vaillants d'entre eux, pour escalader une des plus hautes montagnes des Andes, à 4600 m d'altitude avec les moyens, qui défient la vraisemblance et la raison - et pour arriver enfin dans une haute vallée chilienne, au village de Los Maitenes. IL en restait quatorze autres sur la montagne, on alla les chercher en hélicoptère.

 

On tint leur sauvetage, deux jours  avant Noël, pour un miracle. Quand les  journaux révélèrent le 26 décembre  qu'ils avaient dû manger leurs morts pour survivre, l'émotion fut énorme et même le scandale. L'Eglise catholique  prit cependant fait et cause pour les rescapés.

 

Pour écrire leur histoire, les survivants ont choisi l'écrivain anglais Piers Paul Read.

 

Celui-ci a fait, à partir d'une énorme documentation, un très grand, un très beau livre, qui est publié simultanément aux Etats-Unis, dans sept pays d'Europe et au Japon.
