Home > Like Jet, a dog who searched through ruins during the Blitz bombings to find survivors, or Sergeant Stubby, a dog who caught a spy. Or the pigeons who braved hurricanes, hawks and even snipers to help during WWII … ellujäämislood üle kogu maailma. Inimestele on vaenlaseks nii loodusjõud, ilmakapriisid, loomad kui ka teised inimesed. Kõige vanem lugu raamatus (1823) on Hugh Glassist, kelle ellujäämisest pajatab ka film "Mees, kes jäi ellu". Kõige hilisem lugu (2014) on Johann Westahuserist, koopauurijast, kes sai Saksamaal koobastikus peatrauma. Johanni päästmisel osales 728 inimest. The Woman Who Froze to Death - Yet Lived, a woman who was trapped under freezing water for so long her heart stopped. Four hours later, medics managed to warm her blood enough to revive her.A fascinating collection of real life extraordinary survival stories from across the world. Some of the tales are familiar, like the ones about Aron Ralston and Hugh Glass, whose dangerous adventures have been made into movies. Others are less known, but just as riveting. For survival enthusiasts, especially younger audiences, but for anyone who reads inspiration non-fiction. Beautiful artwork too.

Kõige põhilisem tarkus on matkama või tegelikult üleüldse kuhugi minnes teada anda, kuhu lähed ja millal on sind tagasi oodata. Iga õnnetust küll selle tarkusega ära hoida ei õnnestu. Selleks, et katastroof üle elada, on olulisim endasse uskuda. Just tahtejõud ellu jääda on üks põhifaktoreid, mis oli iga loo kangelasel olemas. Õppisin raamatust veel muuhulgas, et (husky) koerte maksas on palju a-vitamiini ja a-vitamiini üledoos võib viia selleni, et saabas tuleb jalast koos jalatallaga. I found this book thoroughly fascinating--I love survival stories for the way they focus in on the concrete details of life (food, water, physical ability) and how the survivors use their ingenuity and incredible perseverance to make it--they are totally inspiring to me.

Well-received by reviewers and readers alike, David Long's engaging, imaginative and well-informed books reflect an unquenchable thirst for those events and personalities that illuminate the past. These have been translated into more than two dozen languages and won multiple awards. Eriti põnev oli raamatu algus ning kaks esimest lugu jäid ka kõige eredamalt meelde. Enamik raamatus kirjeldatud intsidentidest olid mulle võõrad. Varem olin kuulnud neist lugudest vaid kahte, mille kangelasteks olid Aron Ralston ja Hugh Glass. Veel tundus tuttavana venelane, kes end opereeris. Esimestele lugudele otsisin internetist materjali juurde, kuid hiljem enam ei viitsinud. Mulle meeldisid väga ka joonistused, mis andsid lugudele palju juurde, kuid ei näidanud koledaid detaile. Järjest sellistest üle noatera pääsemistest lugedes vähenes pinge ning autori stiil tekitas tunnet, et asjad korduvad. Mulle tundus, et kõige suuremaks vaenlaseks antud jutustuste puhul oli külm. Ekstreemsed temperatuurid ja lood Antarktikast paelusid mind tegelikult ka enim. Kõrb ja džungel seevastu jätsid pigem külmaks. Ma ei oska välja tuua põhjust, miks see nii oli. Võib-olla peitub see asjaolus, et kõrbes ega džunglis ma viibinud pole, kuid natuke lund olen ikka näinud? Lisaks huvitas mind näitus võidujooksust lõunapoolusele, mis kunagi Lennusadamas oli. Antarktikaga seoses tahaksin kunagi lugeda Scotti päevikuid ja ka ekspeditsioonist, mille laev jäässe kinni jäi. Faber & Faber was founded nearly a century ago, in 1929.

Raamatu algus rabab kindlasti, kuid järjest lugemisel võib tekkida küllastumus. Soovitan raamatut neile, kellele meeldivad seiklused ja paeluvad tõsielusündmused, eriti just katastroofid.

It follows the success of Survivors: Extraordinary Tales from the Wild and Beyond, which was hugely popular in schools and won the Best Book with Facts Blue Peter Award in 2017. It could be a good family read-aloud since it could appeal to the whole family, although I personally hesitate to recommend bedtime due to the the subject matter! I am at the heart of a caring community where I learn to respect and value my environment and the people who share it with me.Faber Members have access to live and online events, special editions and book promotions, and articles and quizzes through our weekly e-newsletter. On his Blue Peter win David Long said: he was “overjoyed” not least because he too grew up watching Blue Peter. “My sons never missed an episode, and now I’m going to visit the studio and meet the team. It’s fantastic news,” he said. Some of these stories were familiar to me and some were utterly new and astounding. Some I'd heard the names but never the story. They were all astounding and I've already passed many of them on.
