That night, a violent storm ambushed them as they were fishing eighty miles offshore. As gale force winds and ten-foot waves pummeled their small, open boat from all sides and nearly capsized them, captain Salvador Alvarenga and his crewmate cut away a two-mile-long fishing line and began a desperate dash through crashing waves as they sought the safety of port.<\/p>\n<p> Fourteen months later, on January 30, 2014, Alvarenga, now a hairy, wild-bearded and half-mad castaway, washed ashore on a nearly deserted island on the far side of the Pacific. He could barely speak and was unable to walk. He claimed to have drifted from Mexico, a journey of some seven thousand miles.<\/p>\n<p> A \u201cgripping saga,\u201d (Daily Mail), 438 Days is the first-ever account of one of the most amazing survival stories in modern times. Based on dozens of hours of exclusive interviews with Alvarenga, his colleagues, search-and-rescue officials, the remote islanders who found him, and the medical team that saved his life, 438 Days is not only \u201can intense, immensely absorbing read\u201d (Booklist) but an unforgettable study of the resilience, will, ingenuity and determination required for one man to survive more than a year lost and adrift at sea.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Atria Books; Reprint edition (September 27, 2016) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 288 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1501116304 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1501116308 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 9.3 ounces <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.5 x 0.7 x 8.38 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the story engaging, interesting, and inspiring.
