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.

Alex还没有开始“生活”，就摈弃了它。青春期任性反叛？偶像父亲带来的幻灭？托尔斯泰、杰克伦敦、约翰缪尔和梭罗们作品的浪漫信徒（便也盲目）？大学毕业，他没有如家人所愿去上哈佛法学院，而是向公益组织捐出自己所有的存款，一个人愈行愈远。在路上，他饱览大地深沉的美丽。在阿拉斯加打猎和收集果实草籽为生，十八周后，骨瘦如柴，食物中毒是最后落下的那根稻草。临死前日记上最后一句话：快乐只有分享才是真正的快乐。如... Alex还没有开始“生活”，就摈弃了它。青春期任性反叛？偶像父亲带来的幻灭？托尔斯泰、杰克伦敦、约翰缪尔和梭罗们作品的浪漫信徒（便也盲目）？大学毕业，他没有如家人所愿去上哈佛法学院，而是向公益组织捐出自己所有的存款，一个人愈行愈远。在路上，他饱览大地深沉的美丽。在阿拉斯加打猎和收集果实草籽为生，十八周后，骨瘦如柴，食物中毒是最后落下的那根稻草。临死前日记上最后一句话：快乐只有分享才是真正的快乐。如果他走出那片荒野，我有理由期望一个少却偏执依然怀抱理想的Alex。你以为我在批判他吗？我不是。 (展开)

世俗框架的禁锢让你无法动弹，说走就走的旅行只是昙花一现的调侃。门外繁花似锦，你迈不开一步，因为你不敢，我更不敢。Alex更像是我们的灵修者，肉体的泯灭带来灵魂的涅槃。他替你走过了沙漠、森林、荒野小径、幽深岩涧和浪花的雾。每个人心中都有一个桃花源。
