A Modern Odyssey Into the Wilderness
In April 1992, a young man named Christopher McCandless walked alone into the Alaskan wilderness. Four months later, hunters discovered his emaciated body inside an abandoned bus. Between these two events lies a remarkable story of idealism, adventure, and tragedy that continues to provoke intense debate. What drives someone to reject society so completely? Was McCandless a courageous seeker of truth or a foolhardy romantic with a death wish? The journey that ended in that rusting bus began years earlier, when the privileged Emory University graduate donated his $24,000 savings to charity, abandoned his car, burned his cash, and reinvented himself as "Alexander Supertramp." His final postcard read simply: "I now walk into the wild." These words marked the beginning of his last adventure-one that would ultimately claim his life but would also immortalize him as a symbol of freedom's allure and its dangers.
