内容简介
······
After graduating from Emory University in Atlanta in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska, where he went to live in the wilderness. Four months later, he turned up dead. His diary, letters and two notes found at a remote campsite tell of his desperate effort to survive, apparently stranded by an injury and slowly starving. They also reflect the posturing of a confused young man, raised in affluent Annandale, Va., who self-consciously adopted a Tolstoyan renunciation of wealth and return to nature. Krakauer, a contributing editor to Outside and Men's Journal, retraces McCandless's ill-fated antagonism toward his father, Walt, an eminent aerospace engineer. Krakauer also draws parallels to his own reckless youthful exploit in 1977 when he climbed Devils Thumb, a mountain on the Alaska-British Columbia border, partly as a symbolic act of rebellion against his autocratic father. In a moving narrative, Krakauer probes the mystery of McCandless's death, which he attributes to logistical blunders and to accidental poisoning from eating toxic seed pods. Maps. 35,000 first printing; author tour.

Chris went into Alaska to seek inner peace with the world and his family. An excellent story indeed. Yet, how I wish he had survived and went back to the secular world.
一种境界
看过电影巨喜欢，又找来书看。作者从一路上帮助或者见过Chris的人，他的父母，最亲的妹妹和一些也去阿拉斯加探寻，或生还回来或死在那里的人的笔记为角度，让Chris丰满立体起来。而且美国人是有多喜欢以各种理由挑战阿拉斯加啊？
