ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer tells the true story of Chris McCandless, a young man who abandons his comfortable life and family to embark on a journey into the Alaskan wilderness. Driven by a desire for freedom and self-discovery, McCandless adopts the name "Alexander Supertramp" and travels across the United States, seeking meaning and solitude. The book explores themes of idealism, isolation, and the human desire to escape societal norms. Through McCandless’s journey, Krakauer examines the tension between romanticized notions of nature and the harsh realities of survival.
