Into the Wild

Jon Krakauer

A sad yet gripping memoir of a young man from a well to do, highly successful family... who one day decides to leave it all and enter the wilderness of Alaska.. alone and with only one bag of rice for provisions. The psychological study of the why he would make such a journey as well at the detective work by the author in deducting the true cause of the young man’s death reads like a riveting mystery. A very gripping account of a man lost to society in the same vein as The Last American Man
