«Hacia rutas salvajes» is Jon Krakauer's biographical essay, published by Zeta Bolsillo in hardback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Krakauer reconstructs the story of Chris McCandless, a young man who in 1992 donated his money, abandoned his car, and went into Alaska to live in the wild. The author investigates his motivations and the controversy it sparked: for some, a brave idealist; for others, a naive person with no knowledge of the environment.
Work originally published as «Into the Wild», with Spanish translation by Albert Freixa i Vidal. Winner of the Washington State Book Award and the Bancarella Sport Prize.
For readers of biographies and travel narratives, especially those who know Sean Penn's film inspired by this story.
Jon Krakauer is an American writer and mountaineer.
