Jon Krakauer, bestselling author of "Into thin air", uses McCandless' restless progress around the wide spaces of North America to explore the call of the wild and the mentality of those who succumb to it. What emerges from this mesmerizing, heartbreaking story is a version of the wilderness that is hard and seductive; a place where one can quite possibly find one's self, but also opening the dark possibility that we might find our own nature strange and disturbing.
