After graduating from Emory University in Atlanta in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska, where he went to live in the wilderness. Four months later, he turned up dead. His diary, letters and two notes found at a remote campsite tell of his desperate effort to survive, apparently stranded by an injury and slowly starving. They also reflect the posturing of a confused young man, raised in affluent Annandale, Va., who self-consciously adopted a Tolstoyan renunciation of wealth and return to nature. Krakauer, a contributing editor to Outside and Men's Journal, retraces McCandless's ill-fated antagonism toward his father, Walt, an eminent aerospace engineer. Krakauer also draws parallels to his own reckless youthful exploit in 1977 when he climbed Devils Thumb, a mountain on the Alaska-British Columbia border, partly as a symbolic act of rebellion against his autocratic father. In a moving narrative, Krakauer probes the mystery of McCandless's death, which he attributes to logistical blunders and to accidental poisoning from eating toxic seed pods. Maps. 35,000 first printing; author tour.

看电影的时候最感动的是chris在走进荒野独自生活之后感受到了人和人的连结的意义，他在日记里写happiness only real when shared，看书的时候从家人和朋友的视角和描述中，真的感受到了他们的他的爱和思念： the fact that chris is gone is a sharp hurt I feel every single day.

凯恩斯有句话叫“长期来看我们都会死”，但读书多的理想主义者明显死得快些，也更让人心碎些。

看完了整本书里对Chris的描述，觉得他真是生错了时间。他留下的日记是最为宝贵的。多少人能够从他的经历里看到自己的人生呢？

曾今是如此崇拜Alex，而如今住在阿拉斯加听了很多故事，才体会到他的行为是有多么的reckless。我为他家人的悲哀感到深深地同情，而他为自己不充分的准备付出了代价。每年都有很多人走进阿拉斯加的荒野，却再也没有回来，只有一小部分是死在他们的梦里。很不幸Alex不是其中之一。

比电影好太多，作者通过前前后后大量线索的整理，刻画出了一个更加完整的追求精神上自由的年轻人的形象。而且我感觉这本比Into Thin Air写得更好。因为Krauer联系起自己年轻时候独自在阿拉斯加攀冰的经历，对于Chris有一种感同身受的人文关怀。再看看那些谩骂Chris的脑残读者来信，真是千古乌鸦一般黑。更为可贵的是，作者又能够比较各种证据，有理有据地应对批评——他年轻的时候可是个流浪木工……

展现了一个更加立体丰富的Chris，看过书之后再去看电影应该会是不一样的感受，准备重温一下

2022年第4本书 3.21- 3.31 最早看的是电影 作者追求的是纯粹的自由 有道德洁癖 理想主义者 感觉作者是不是大学的时候压力太大了 读书读傻了 喜欢文学 尤其喜欢杰克伦敦 他觉得每个人都应该阅读野性的呼唤。

特别打动我的是”I NOW WALK INTO THE WILD”和最后日记里的”BEAUTIFUL BERRIES”. 他很纯粹。
