Seller Description
Into the Wild is a biography of Chris McCandless written by Jon Krakauer. Krakauer is known for his non-fiction narratives of adventures in the great outdoors, especially mountaineering, such as Into Thin Air. Into the Wild, published in 1996, is arguably his most well known book. Using a non-traditional narrative structure, Krakauer is able to go beyond just the story of Chris McCandless and explore what leads a person to head into the wild, never to return, through comparisons to other adventurers who met the same fate, as well as to Krakauer himself. In addition to his writing, Jon Krakauer is an avid mountaineer.
