INTO THE WILD - JON KRAKAUER TASCHENBUCH

Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild examines the true story of Chris McCandless  a young man who
walked deep into the Alaskan wilderness and whose SOS note and emaciated corpse were found four
months later.   In April 1992  Chris McCandless set off alone into the Alaskan wild. He had
given his savings to charity  abandoned his car and his possessions  and burnt the money in his
wallet  determined to live a life of independence. Just four months later  Chris was found
dead. An SOS note was taped to his makeshift home  an abandoned bus.  In piecing together the
final travels of this extraordinary young man's life  Jon Krakauer writes about the heart of
the wilderness  its terribly beauty and its relentless harshness. Into the Wild is a modern
classic of travel writing  and a riveting exploration of what drives some of us to risk more
than we can afford to lose.   From the author of Under the Banner of Heaven and Into Thin Air .
A film adaptation of Into the Wild was directed by Sean Penn and starred Emile Hirsch and
Kristen Stewart.  'It may be nonfiction  but Into the Wild is a mystery of the highest order.'
