A moving Alaskan odyssey
Into
the Wild
by John Krakauer
This is the compelling and tragic portrait of a young man who
renounces a life of affluence to answer his own "call of the wild"
in the untamed Alaska backcountry. It's an eloquent and
heart-rending account, told with sympathy and skill. Sean Penn was
so moved by the book that he wrote the screenplay and directed the
critically acclaimed film.
