A Survival Story

There were many rumors doing the round about Alvarenga and his ordeal lately. It was time to put them to rest and that is why he decided to disclose his story to a journalist Jonathan Franklin. Writing the story served two purposes for him, firstly, it became a big and continuous source of his income and secondly, it helped him to vent his emotions out.  No need to say the book titled 438 Days: An Extraordinary True Story of Survival at Sea turned out to be a big success. The family of Ezequial Córdoba also came out demanding half of the money procured from the book claiming that Alvarenga would not have been alive had he not eaten Córdoba. Alvarenga has been denying the accusation from the very starting.
