Summary

Chris McCandles był chłopakiem z dobrego, zamożnego domu。 Miał troskliwych rodziców i kochającą siostrę。 Ukończył college i szykował się do studiów prawniczych。 Ale właśnie wtedy postanowił wypisać się z klasy średniej, oddał wszystkie pieniądze i ruszył w drogę。 Od Meksyku po Alaskę – jeździł autostopem, pociągami towarowymi, wędrował na piechotę, spływał kajakiem。 Łatwo zaprzyjaźniał się z poznanymi po drodze ludźmi i równie łatwo te przyjaźnie zrywał, by szukać samotności w dziczy。 Nie był jednak zwykłym awanturnikiem i łowcą przygód – raczej filozofem i idealistą。 Ukoronowaniem jego życia miała być "ostatnia, największa przygoda, kulminacyjna bitwa, żeby zabić fałszywy wewnętrzny byt i ogłosić triumfalny koniec duchowej rewolucji"。

Jon Krakauer podąża tropem "supertrampa", jak sam siebie nazywał McCandles。 Na podstawie jego zapisków, listów, rozmów z jego przyjaciółmi stara się odtworzyć losy współczesnego Robinsona i wyjaśnić zagadkę jego odejścia。

Ta przepiękna historia młodości, buntu i poszukiwania wolności od kilkudziesięciu lat inspiruje nie tylko czytelników, ale także artystów。 Na jej podstawie powstał niezapomniany film w reżyserii Seana Penna。

How sad。 I started the book with read-made opinions about MacCandless but now I'm not so sure。 However I am a mother and I am still critical about the heart-rending perplexity and grief he left them with。 A must-read。 How sad。 I started the book with read-made opinions about MacCandless but now I'm not so sure。 However I am a mother and I am still critical about the heart-rending perplexity and grief he left them with。 A must-read。 。。。more

Perfect book for people who like ‘On the Road’ as it asks the same question as to ‘What if you didn’t do what the government wanted you to do/ what’s the norm?’Jon Krakauer makes great analysis and draws back to his own life and other people who had the same ambitious attitude as Chris Mccandless

Haunting and somber。 Krakauer reveals the lengths some will go to to escape the societies’ grasp。

4/5After reading both "Into the Wild" and "Zeitoun" this week, I'm beginning to think that I might have to give non-fiction as a genre another chance。 Krakauer's writing was punchy, the pacing was excellent, and everything felt like a tight narrative。 I found the sections where Krakauer discussed his own background, and his theories relating to McCandless's death, to be exceptionally engaging。 Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone looking to read about the Chris McCandless。 If that is t 4/5After reading both "Into the Wild" and "Zeitoun" this week, I'm beginning to think that I might have to give non-fiction as a genre another chance。 Krakauer's writing was punchy, the pacing was excellent, and everything felt like a tight narrative。 I found the sections where Krakauer discussed his own background, and his theories relating to McCandless's death, to be exceptionally engaging。 Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone looking to read about the Chris McCandless。 If that is too specific - I'm not really sure how specific people get when choosing what non-fiction book to read next - I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the wilderness。 。。。more

Larry Hamilton

An intriguing yet tragic story of a young man, Chris McCandless whose grandiose search for happiness and risk taking endeavors resulted in his untimely death in the Alaskan wilderness。 The author makes some interesting comparisons of McCandless’s personality and behavior to himself and several others throughout history that were driven by similar ideals。 I found the research and investigation conducted by the author into the cause of McCandless’s death was quite interesting。

Erifili

Into the Wild is written in a prose similar to scientific cataloguing, which is a stylistic choice that I did not love。 It did not leave me yearning for more。 I did enjoy the artistic weaving of stories between Christopher and the author。

April

Loved this story and how the author tries to share it “from the inside out” through interviews and recounting artifacts。 A lot of inspiring quotes in this book。

Houlcroft

More of a celebration of the life of Christopher McCandless, the young man who walked into the Alaskan wild in search of self and solitude, and whose body was found four months later, than an exploration into his death。 Krakauer writes with reverence and awe at the aura McCandless seemed to have。 His adventure is pieced together by beautifully researched interviews with those who’s paths crossed McCandless and whose lives were changed in the process。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it, click here。 I DID NOT enjoy this story。 If this exact story was written about anyone but a charming young rich white man it would never have been able to occur。 Even the authors choice of including other stories about people other than the protagonist and about himself was completely unnecessary and elongated an already redundant book。

Alaska scares the shit out of me。 After reading The Great Alone , I was already a little spooked but thought the fictional depiction was a little over-dramatized。 After reading this, however, I have decided: Alaska scares the shit out of me。Christopher's story was incredible, as was every sub-story they compared it to。 I was intrigued and really did like the book。 It could get a little draggy due to me not caring about terrain type stuff, but that was necessary for the book just not my thing。 In Alaska scares the shit out of me。 After reading The Great Alone , I was already a little spooked but thought the fictional depiction was a little over-dramatized。 After reading this, however, I have decided: Alaska scares the shit out of me。Christopher's story was incredible, as was every sub-story they compared it to。 I was intrigued and really did like the book。 It could get a little draggy due to me not caring about terrain type stuff, but that was necessary for the book just not my thing。 In the debate of if McCandless was ignorant and self-centered to which it killed him, or if he truly was a figure to admire。 I think both are true。 I didn't really like McCandless when he was described, because I was trying to imagine if he were talking to me, I would probably want to punch the guy。 That being said, I did respect the hell out of him。 To live in the wild with no ties to humanity or modern technology, and do it (semi) successfully, well I'll be damned。 He gets the biggest standing ovation ever。 The ending was sweet。 Bittersweet, but sweet for all the McCandless' 。。。more

This was hard。 I knew the story, but I didn’t KNOW the story。 And there is no storyteller like Jon Krakauer。

Fr。 CJP

The story of Chris McCandless deserves a better telling which avoids the author inserting himself into the narrative。

L Noble

Reminder of how the innocent mistakes of youthful journeys and choices one makes can balloon to a crisis of self destruction。

Mrs。 Henry

I really enjoyed this book, and think I would have enjoyed it more if Krakauer had included even MORE of his personal stories and those of other mountaineers。 I understand that it was in fact the story of Chris McCandless and should focus mostly there。 However, it seemed like he ran out of material on this young nomadic adventurer。

Wow。 Serio。 Ta książka była niesamowita。 Krakauer przedstawia śmierć McCandlessa obiektywnie。 Czasami wtrąca swoje zdanie, ale cały czas pokazuje, że nie wszyscy takie mieli。 Dużo wypowiedzi innych ludzi。 Trochę zagmatwane, nie chronologiczne, ale do przebrnięcia。 Jeden rozdział wyjątkowo mi się nie podobał, bo autor mówił o swoich przeżyciach - a mi zależało na Christopherze McCandlessie。4,75/5⭐

Bittersweet。 Melancholy。 Difficult to comprehend。 Those are the phrases I would use to describe Into the Wild。 Reading this book allows you to learn about the person behind Alexander Supertramp, but it leaves you with more questions than answers。 Was Chris irresponsible, filled with hubris, or did he have a death wish? Had he known he would die would he do it all over again? Is a search for greater meaning more important than the human connections we make along that journey?

Krakauer does an incredible job of weaving Chris' journal entries, letters, and the steps that he took with the experiences of those who knew Chris and those who took similar paths to Chris。 I cannot pretend to relate to the reasons why Chris chose to go into the wild, I only hope that he found peace in doing so。 。。。more

For some reason, this book was a little difficult to get through。 I think it was because after some point, I stopped feeling connected to Chris。 For all the passages he had highlighted about living in service of others, he mostly seemed to be living in service of himself。 There's no doubt that Krakauer is a great writer, but I just felt at some points that he was trying to defend Chris too much; ultimately, I think Chris' actions should speak for themselves。 For some reason, this book was a little difficult to get through。 I think it was because after some point, I stopped feeling connected to Chris。 For all the passages he had highlighted about living in service of others, he mostly seemed to be living in service of himself。 There's no doubt that Krakauer is a great writer, but I just felt at some points that he was trying to defend Chris too much; ultimately, I think Chris' actions should speak for themselves。 。。。more

He was smart and gifted in many ways, but he chose to abandon relationships and abandon those who loved him and create himself anew with no relationships and no ties。 The way away from love and relationship leads not to life, but indeed to death。 And death is what Chris got”。 I can appreciate this book for what it is, a real life story of a man who embarked to the unknown , free from material possessions, much like buddha。 but he’s not buddha。 I can merit the fact that he made it from April- August。。。I probably would’ve been dead in a week without water and no hunting skills whatsoever, but still。。。it seems like Chris was seeking something he simply couldn’t have found on his own。 I believe a big part of life is the connections we make with others。 I think this is suppose to make the reader reflect on their lives。 my roommate said “when it comes down to it humans need other humans and we need to value our connections” Overall。。。3/10 cuz it was intellectually provoking at least。 。。。more

I think I'd compare this read to meeting a stranger at a gas pump somewhere in the western US and listening to him talk about life--or some relative's life--and what did or didn't become of it。 The story is intriguing and heartbreaking yet oddly inspiring all at once (which is all further elevated by the fact the story is true)。 There's a lot to unpack。 It's the kind of read I'd love to sit around and talk about for several hours。 I think I'd compare this read to meeting a stranger at a gas pump somewhere in the western US and listening to him talk about life--or some relative's life--and what did or didn't become of it。 The story is intriguing and heartbreaking yet oddly inspiring all at once (which is all further elevated by the fact the story is true)。 There's a lot to unpack。 It's the kind of read I'd love to sit around and talk about for several hours。 。。。more

Definitely an interesting read, at some points it felt a little more dull than others。 I enjoyed the narrative given by the author and the extensive details that shed more light on the mindset of McCandless。 Overall I liked the book and would read more like this!

I loved the movie so sad。 But reading his journey through people he passed along the way。 Imagine how it would feel like to be that free but then how scared he’d be all alone at the end 😢No Luke Evans but that’s perfectly fine。
