ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer tells the story of Chris McCandless, a young man from a wealthy East Coast family who abandons his conventional life after graduating from college. He changes his name to Alexander Supertramp, donates his savings to charity, and embarks on a journey across North America, seeking a life of freedom and raw experience. The book explores his travels through various states, his encounters with different people, and his final endeavor into the Alaskan wilderness. The narrative delves into the complex motivations behind his actions, the influence of literary figures such as Tolstoy and Thoreau, and the themes of idealism, rebellion, self-discovery, and the allure and danger of nature. The book examines his search for truth and his struggle to reconcile his inner world with the world around him.
