<p><b>Previously published as <i>Deep Down Dark: The Untold Stroies of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine, and the Miracle That Set Them Free.</i></b><br> <b><br> The novel that inspired the film <i>The 33 </i>starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Cote de Pablo and Antonio Banderas.</b><br><br> 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 <i>Deep Down Dark, </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: Deep Down Dark</i> captures the profound ways in which the lives of everyone involved in the catastrophe were forever changed.<br><br> A Finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award<br> A Finalist for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize<br> A <i>New York Times Book Review</i> Notable Book<br> Selected for NPR's <i>Morning Edition</i> Book Club</p>
