In April 1992, Chris McCandless, a 24-year-old, ventured into the wilderness of Alaska with little equipment. Four months later, his body was discovered by hunters. McCandless's story, popularized by Jon Krakauer, generated controversy: why would a recent graduate decide to break family ties and get lost in an inhospitable region? 'Into the Wild' explores the search for meaning and freedom in nature, as well as the dangers of idealization and isolation.
Jon Krakauer is an American writer and mountaineer. He is the author of bestselling nonfiction books—Into the Wild; Into Thin Air; Under the Banner of Heaven; and Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman—as well as numerous magazine articles. He was a member of an ill-fated expedition to summit Mount Everest in 1996, one of the deadliest disasters in the history of climbing Everest, which would become the subject of Into Thin Air.
