True story of Chris McCandless with comparisons with the author's life
Reading like more a gripping mystery novel, this is the true story of Chris McCandless, a young man who in 1992 embarked upon a solo odyssey with the express purpose of finding himself. Hitting the road with the minimum of baggage and money, he aimed to fulfil his dream of living off the land, alone and in the wilderness of Alaska. Jon Krakauer draws similarities with his own experiences and conversations with those who encountered Chris during his life and travels, and here endeavours to unravel the web of circumstances that led to Chris's lonely death in an abandoned bus, ironically closer to civilization than he realised.
