With an introduction by novelist David Vann. In April 1992, Chris McCandless set off alone into the Alaskan wild.

From the author of Under the Banner of Heaven and Into Thin Air. A film adaptation of Into the Wild was directed by Sean Penn and starred Emile Hirsch and Kristen Stewart. 'It may be nonfiction, but Into the Wild is a mystery of the highest order.' – Entertainment Weekly
