Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer (Paperback)

Into the Wild is Jon Krakauer's bestselling account of Christopher McCandless, a young man from a comfortable family who gave away his savings, abandoned his car and possessions and hitchhiked to Alaska in 1992. He walked alone into the wilderness north of Mount McKinley and was found dead four months later. Krakauer pieces together the facts of his short life in this haunting work of nonfiction.
