Omschrijving
The film tie-in edition of Jon Krakauer's classic account of a gifted young man who chose literally to walk away from his life.
Terrifying . . . Eloquent . . . A heart-rending drama of human yearning.
A narrative of arresting force. Anyone who ever fancied wandering off to face nature on its own harsh terms should give a look. It's gripping stuff.
It may be nonfiction, but Into the Wild is a mystery of the highest order.
An astonishingly gifted writer: his account of 'Alex Supertramp' is powerfully dramatic, eliciting sympathy for both the idealistic, anti-consumerist boy - and his parents.
A compelling tale of tragic idealism.
Jon Krakauer is a mountaineer and the author of Eiger Dreams, Into the Wild, (which was on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year and was made into a film starring Emile Hirsch and Kristen Stewart) Into Thin Air, Iceland, Under the Banner of Heaven and Where Men Win Glory.
