Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. NATIONAL BESTSELLER In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. Four months later, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter. This is the unforgettable story of how Christopher Johnson McCandless came to die."It may be nonfiction, but Into the Wild is a mystery of the highest order." Entertainment WeeklyMcCandess had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Not long after, he was dead. Into the Wild is the mesmerizing, heartbreaking tale of an enigmatic young man who goes missing in the wild and whose story captured the worlds attention. Immediately after graduating from college in 1991, McCandless had roamed through the West and Southwest on a vision quest like those made by his heroes Jack London and John Muir. In the Mojave Desert he abandoned his car, stripped it of its license plates, and burned all of his cash. He would give himself a new name, Alexander Supertramp, and, unencumbered by money and belongings, he would be free to wallow in the raw, unfiltered experiences that nature presented. Craving a blank spot on the map, McCandless simply threw the maps away. Leaving behind his desperate parents and sister, he vanished into the wild.Jon Krakauer constructs a clarifying prism through which he reassembles the disquieting facts of McCandless's short life. Admitting an interest that borders on obsession, he searches for the clues to the drives and desires that propelled McCandless. When McCandless's innocent mistakes turn out to be irreversible and fatal, he becomes the stuff of tabloid headlines and is dismissed for his naivete, pretensions, and hubris. He is said to have had a death wish but wanting to die is a very different thing from being compelled to look over the edge. Krakauer brings McCandless's uncompromising pilgrimage out of the shadows, and the peril, adversity, and renunciation sought by this enigmatic young man are illuminated with a rare understandingand not an ounce of sentimentality. Into the Wild is a tour de force. The power and luminosity of Jon Krakauer's stoytelling blaze through every page. The story of Chris McCandless, a young man who embarked on a solo journey into the wilds of Alaska and whose body was discovered four months later, explores the fascinating allure that the wilderness has for the American imagination. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Leinen. Condition: neuwertig. Erste Aufl. / Lizenzausgabe. Fadengehefteter illustrierter Ganzleineneinband mit Rücken- und Deckeltitel, farbigen Vorsätzen und Lesebändchen in sehr gutem, neuwertigem Erhaltungszustand, das Buch wurde lediglich zu Prüfzwecken aus der Originalfolie genommen. Gesetzt aus der Antykwa und gedruckt auf das Papier Salzer EOS naturweiß. "Im August 1992 wurde die Leiche von Chris McCandless im Eis von Alaska gefunden. Wer war dieser junge Mann, und was hatte ihn in die gottverlassene Wildnis getrieben? Jon Krakauer hat McCandless' Leben erforscht und seine Reise in den Tod rekonstruiert. In die Wildnis ist ein traurig-schönes Buch über die Sehnsucht, die einen Mann veranlasste, sämtliche Besitztümer und Errungenschaften der Zivilisation hinter sich zu lassen, um tief in die wilde und einsame Schönheit der Natur einzutauchen. Der Illustrator Christian Schneider fängt mit seinen realistischen, feinen Zeichnungen die wunderbaren wie auch grausamen Seiten der Natur ein." (Verlagstext) Christopher "Chris" Johnson McCandless (* 12. Februar 1968 in El Segundo, Kalifornien; gestorben (vermutlich) am 18. August 1992 im Denali Borough, Alaska; auch "Alexander Supertramp" genannt) war ein junger Abenteurer bzw. Aussteiger. Jon Krakauers Artikel in der Januar-1993-Ausgabe der Zeitschrift Outside, Krakauers Buch In die Wildnis (Into the Wild) und Sean Penns gleichnamige Verfilmung machten ihn bekannt. McCandless zog mit minimaler Ausrüstung durch die Vereinigten Staaten. Er verhungerte in einem abgelegenen Gebiet Alaskas, möglicherweise aufgrund einer Vergiftung durch einen Schimmelpilz bzw. die einseitige Ernährung mit einer bestimmten Sorte Süßklee. Jon Krakauer (* 12. April 1954 in Brookline, Massachusetts) ist ein US-amerikanischer Bergsteiger und Autor. Aus Krakauers Zeitschriften-Berichten und seinem Buch In eisige Höhen entwickelte sich eine heftige Kontroverse mit dem am selben Ereignis beruflich beteiligten Bergführer Anatoli Bukrejew, der das Ereignis in einem weiteren Buch in vielen Punkten anders darstellte. Das Buch Krakauers wurde ein millionenfach verkaufter Bestseller. Halls Witwe nannte ihn einen Abschaum, weil er in seinem Buch das letzte Funkgespräch zwischen dem Sterbenden und ihr abdruckte. Ebenfalls ein Bestseller wurde Krakauers Buch Into the Wild, in dem er das Schicksal des Aussteigers Christopher McCandless schildert. Die Verfilmung des Werks unter dem Titel Into the Wild (2007) durch Sean Penn erreichte weltweit ein Millionenpublikum. (Wikipedia) In deutscher Sprache. 339, (1) pages. Groß 8° (165 x 240mm).
