Into the Wild (pdf) – Christopher Johnson McCandless was a young man from a well-to-do family. He had a good future and a promising career. But in April of 1992, Christopher donated $25k in savings to charity, burned all the cash in his wallet, abandoned his possessions and his car, and dropped out of sight. He wandered across North America looking for new experiences and created a new life for himself.
Vanishing into the wild, Christopher gave himself a new name – Alexander Supertramp. Unencumbered by money, belongings, or responsibility, he was free to enjoy all of the raw, unfiltered experiences that nature had to offer. Vanishing into the wild, Christopher left behind a bewildered and confused sister and parents.
Four months later, his body was found by moose hunters in Alaska.
In this book the author, Jon Krakauer, attempts to retrace Chris McCandless’s steps. He attempts to find out why Christopher did what he did, how he ended up in Alaska, and the circumstances surrounding his death. What would make a successful young man from an affluent family give everything up and wander through the wilderness?
Krakauer’s page-turning bestseller explores a famed missing person mystery while also attempting to unravel the larger riddles it holds: the profound pull of the American wilderness on our imagination; the allure of high-risk activities to young men of a certain cast of mind; as well as the complex, charged bond between fathers and sons.
