By Jon KrakauerInto the Wild book by Jon Krakauer
By examining the true story of Chris McCandless, a young man, who in 1992 walked deep into the Alaskan wilderness and whose SOS note and emaciated corpse were found four months later, internationally bestselling author Jon Krakauer explores the obsession which leads some people to explore the outer limits of self, leave civilization behind and seek enlightenment through solitude and contact with nature.
An astonishingly gifted writer: his account of Alex Supertramp is powerfully dramatic, eliciting sympathy for both the idealistic, anti-consumerist boy and his parents Guardian
A compelling tale of tragic idealism The Times
