In a compelling book that evokes the writings of Thoreau, Muir, and Jack London, Krakauer recounts the haunting and tragic mystery of 22-year-old Chris McCandless who disappeared in April 1992 into the Alaskan wilderness in search of a raw, transcendent experience. His emaciated corpse was discovered four months later. UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random042/96043566.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/random044/96043566.html ER -
