Description
A young man from a well-to-do family embarked on a journey to Alaska, hitchhiking to the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley in April 1992. Four months later, his body was found by a moose hunter. This is the story of how Christopher Johnson McCandless came to die. He had given away $25,000 in savings, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, and burned all the cash in his wallet. He had invented a new life for himself, but it was short-lived. McCandless had previously roamed through the West and Southwest on a vision quest, inspired by his heroes Jack London and John Muir. Jon Krakauer reconstructs the facts of McCandless's short life, searching for the clues to the drives and desires that propelled him.
