Into the Wild by Krakauer, Jon Unabridged Edition [AudioCD(2007/8/21)]

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. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He 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... This is a heart-rending drama of human yearning. Terrifying. Eloquent. Gripping.
