Into the Wild, the biography of Christopher McCandless, is one of the most successful pieces of outdoor nonfiction writing in contemporary literature. McCandless hitchhiked to Alaska in 1992, where he intended to live in seclusion, subsisting solely on what he could forage and hunt. Although he survived for nearly four months alone in the wild, McCandless succumbed to starvation and passed away in August 1992. Into the Wild is the result of Krakauer’s research into McCandless’ life and journey.
