Product description

Review

Terrifying . . . Eloquent . . . A heart-rending drama of human yearning. ― New York Times

A narrative of arresting force. Anyone who ever fancied wandering off to face nature on its own harsh terms should give a look. It's gripping stuff. ― Washington Post

It may be nonfiction, but Into the Wild is a mystery of the highest order. ― Entertainment Weekly

An astonishingly gifted writer: his account of 'Alex Supertramp' is powerfully dramatic, eliciting sympathy for both the idealistic, anti-consumerist boy - and his parents. ― Guardian

A compelling tale of tragic idealism. ― The Times

From the Publisher

In 1999 Jon Krakauer received an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. According to the award citation, "Krakauer combines the tenacity and courage of the finest tradition of investigative journalism with the stylish subtlety and profound insight of the born writer. His account of an ascent of Mount Everest has led to a general reevaluation of climbing and of the commercialization of what was once a romantic, solitary sport; while his account of the life and death of Christopher McCandless, who died of starvation after challenging the Alaskan wilderness, delves even more deeply and disturbingly into the fascination of nature and the devastating effects of its lure on a young and curious mind."

5.0 out of 5 stars A sad, inspiring tragedy
Reviewed in Australia on 8 July 2018
Verified Purchase
A sad, inspiring tragedy. Chris walked his dream. I loved the story but also feel a deep sadness for his life lost and the people hurt by his loss. He set out with youthful exuberance matched with significant competence. However, he found out too late that we stand on the shoulder of giants and are weak in our own right.

If he survived, he would have faded into history. Now, we meet him because he died.

Nonetheless, he lived. He did not cower from his endeavor. This book chronicles his life by not simply making him a hero but also examining his weaknesses. Sure, he is a protagonist for Krakauer. But, he is not deified. He is shown to be somebody that came face to face with reality in a sad tragic end but at least he saw reality, instead of simply living in a dream of Netflix and suburbia.

Beautiful descriptions of wilderness and the longing that draws a person into the wild. I enjoyed the interspersing of Chris' diary entries with the perspectives of his family and those that spent time with him along his pilgrimage.

I dismissed this story for years as a privileged idiot getting himself into a situation easily avoidable. I was very wrong and I really enjoyed this book. A tragic story but quite touching in its way and very well written.

Reviewed in Canada on 24 July 2023

I bought this second-hand copy of "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer. As expected from a used book, the quality was decent, but the real gem here is the story within.

The book takes us on a compelling journey of Christopher McCandless, a young man who leaves his comfortable life behind, donating his savings, and hitchhiking to Alaska to live in the wilderness. It's a true tale of adventure and introspection, making one ponder about the true essence of life and freedom.

Given the incredible narrative, this book deserves nothing less than a 5 out of 5 stars!

I love these kind of books and I enjoyed this one immensely, I read it within a week. There was periods of it that were very sad but also really fascinating!

It's one of the best books about nature that I've ever read and would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't yet read it.

I'm now looking forward to watching the film of the same name and also reading more of Jon Krakeuer's books which I hope I also enjoy!
