Deep Down Dark by Héctor Tobar - A 15-minute Summary & Analysis


Book Description

PLEASE NOTE: This is an unofficial summary and analysis of the book and NOT the original book. Deep Down Dark by Héctor Tobar - A 15-minute Summary & AnalysisInside this Instaread: • Summary of entire book • Introduction to the Important People in the book • Analysis of the Themes and Author’s Style Preview of this Instaread: Deep Down Dark is a narrative nonfiction book by journalist and novelist Héctor Tobar. The book tells the story of thirty-three miners trapped in a caved-in mine in northern Chile starting on August 5, 2010. They stayed underground for sixty-nine days. The miners’ personal stories of their months trapped in the mine are complemented by tales of what the miners’ families and the public experienced on the surface during the ordeal, as well as by an in-depth recounting of the successful rescue effort. The San José copper mine in northern Chile was over a hundred years old, and the miners working there were aware that it was not in optimal condition. The men complained about the conditions to their general manager, Carlos Pinilla, but he was not responsive. Still, they needed money, and mining jobs were relatively lucrative. Those working in the mine on August 5, 2010 were all men…




The Deep Dark


Book Description

“A vividly detailed, heartbreaking tale about a dark, alien place, the people who loved working there and a town that has never been the same. He brings to life the hot, dirty, treasure-hunt environment where danger was a miner's heroin." —Seattle Times “Investigation at its best.” —Tucson Citizen On May 2, 1972, 174 miners entered Sunshine Mine in Kellogg, Idaho, on their daily quest for silver. From his office window, safety engineer Bob Launhardt could see the air shafts that fed fresh air into the mine, which was more than a mile below the surface. Sunshine was a fireproof hardrock mine, full of nothing but cold, dripping wet stone. There were many safety concerns, but fire wasn’t one of them. So when thick black smoke began pouring from one of the air shafts, Launhardt was as amazed as he was struck with fear. When the alarm sounded, less than half of the dayshift was able to return to the surface. The others were too deep in the mine to escape. Scores of miners died almost immediately, but in one of the deepest corners of the mine, Ron Flory and Tom Wilkinson were left alone and in total darkness, surviving off a trickle of fresh air from a borehole. The miners’ families waited and prayed, while Launhardt refused to give up the search until he could be sure that no one was left underground. In The Deep Dark, Gregg Olsen looks beyond an intensely suspenseful story of the rescue and into the wounded heart of Kellogg, a quintessential company town that has never recovered from its loss.




Transitions


Book Description

This book gathers stories of transformations, which occurred to the land, people, and communities of the anthracite coal region in general and Mt. Carmel in particular. It tells how Eastern Europeans were recruited by giant railroad companies to work (and often die) in their dangerous mines. It also shows how these people who were at first alienated by their new surroundings soon developed confidence and pride in their work, and built a supportive community that survived the boom and bust of anthracite mining. The Deppen Scholars share how they followed their ancestors' path as they first experienced alienation, then gained the confidence to ultimately graduate with pride from Bucknell University. "This is a fine job. There is nothing quite like this study, which is a contemporary interdisciplinary case study that cuts across history, sociology and education while mixing a bit of the economics of de-industrialization." -Dr. Kenneth Wolensky, Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission "Thoroughly enjoyable. You let the Deppens speak for themselves without trying to over-analyze their underlying motivations. An interesting exploration of the emergence of class consciousness. We didn't feel poor in Mt. Carmel so class consciousness resulted from our interactions at Bucknell and beyond. We appreciate your good, hard work and for having it read more like a novel than a treatise!" -Julie Corrigan, Deppen Scholar, Bucknell , class of 1986 "An engaging exploration of transformations-geological, economic, cultural-presented in the context of a caring professor's quest to understand and connect with the people of a small Pennsylvania anthracite town." -Dennis Baumoll, Professor Emeritus, Department of English, Bucknell University
