Christopher McCandless, a young man from a wealthy family, in 1990, graduating from Emory University in Atlanta, decided to go on a journey without telling anyone about his purpose or his intentions. Two years later he was found dead in an Alaskan interior. His case was reported by Outside journalist John Krakover. The latter, interested in the motives and conditions that Chris experienced, decided to go even further into the story of this young man. To the wild routes, he almost completely tells the facts from the point of view of the last people with whom Chris communicated before entering the wild lands of Alaska, where he eventually found his death. In addition, the author adds excerpts from his life as a lover of nature and mountain life, citing the slight similarities he shares with Chris. At the same time, he is trying to clarify the key factors in the young man's life that led him to decide to follow this last path, completely moving away from his family and any hint of civilization. The structure of the book consists of 18 chapters plus an epilogue. Chapter 1 Chapter Summary: Alaska Interior (I) The author begins the novel by presenting a postcard sent by Alex Wayne Westerberg. April 27, 1992 Memories from Fairbanks! That's the last thing you know about me, Wayne. I've been here two days. The finger-to-finger ride through Yukon territory was difficult, but in the end I got there. Please return my mail to the senders. It could be a long time before I go back south. If this adventure ends badly and you will never hear from me again, I want you to know that I consider you a great man. Now I'm heading to the desert. ALEX Later, the story begins when a few miles from Fairbanks, Jim Gallien spots a young man in his 19th hitchhiking on the highway. Even though the boy was carrying a rifle on his shoulder, it wasn't enough to intimidate Jim, decided to take it. Chris got in the car and went to the driver named Alex. Jim described the young man as follows: He measured the seventy-meter thing and his complexion was rinsed and ribbed. He claimed to be 24 years old and from South Dakota. He explained that he wanted to be taken to the outskirts of Denali National Park and then walked into the woods to live a few months of what he found on the mountain. John Krakauer, To Wild Routes, page 16 Being an experienced hunter and concerned about how worn out Alex is going for such a journey, Jim tried to convince him that he would give up the idea by telling him that there is almost no prey in the region to hunt and that he can meet bears. He also offered to take him to Anchorage, buy him clothes and equipment, return him and leave him where he wanted. However, Alex was too stubborn and seemed to have an ingenious answer to any of the problems Jim had imposed on him, so when he reached his destination he only took some sandwiches made by Jim's wife and some old boots that Jim offered him. Chapter 2: The Way Of Stampede (I) This chapter begins with an inscription that Alex engraved on a piece of wood and then continues with a quote from Jack London's book White Fang. Jack London King Alexander Supertramp, May 1992 After that, continues to describe the Stampede Route. Between the silica ridges of the two outer steep ridges of the Outer Ridge runs from east to west a depression of about eight kilometers, covered with a kenagos amalgam of treedals, thickness of alder and veins of spruce skeletons. Stumpid's path, Chris McCandless's path to wild graves, winding through this rolling labyrinth of valleys. John Krakauer, to the wild routes, page 24 This route was created by a legendary miner named Earl Pilgrim, who opened the way in the 1930s. Later, the construction company Utan received a state contract for its laying to facilitate the route for trucks. However, bridges have not been made by the numerous rivers that cross it, so it is abandoned and only some locals transit it to go hunting. So three hunters set off on the way to the bus abandoned by the construction company, which became a kind of tradition for those who intended to go hunting in the area. After various trips to get to the place, they met a couple who watched the bus in horror. When they approached, they noticed a strong smell of rot and as they looked inside, inside the sleeping bag, there was a corpse. Chapter 3: Carthage (... This third chapter begins with an excerpt highlighted by Alexei from Leo Tolstoy's book Family Happiness. He then continues to present a quote about the nomadic residence of Wallace Stegner's book The American West as a living space. I wanted movement, not a quiet existence. I wanted excitement and danger, and the opportunity to sacrifice myself for love. I felt swollen with so much energy that I couldn't guide it through the quiet life we had. Leon Tolstoy, Family Happiness Story continues two months after Alex's body was found, while Wayne Westerberg is in a single bar in the village of Carthage in South Dakota, remembering the boy and how he met him. In 1990, Wayne saw him hitchhiking and decided to take it. He subsequently gave him accommodation for 3 days, and as soon as the boy resumed his trip, he offered him a job in case he returned through the city. A couple of weeks later, Alex returned and turned out to be a dedicated employee. However, he had to leave when Wayne was sentenced to four months in prison for the crime. From that moment on, Alex started saying he was from South Dakota. It is then explained that Chris was a good student and that when he graduated, he informed his family that he would disappear for a while, a situation his parents and sister interpreted as one of the many trips the young man made on his own. He also said that during his college years, Chris decided to live strictly as a form of preparation for the difficult journey he planned to make. On the other hand, it is also mentioned that Chris was in complete disagreement with his family's lifestyle and felt that after graduation he could finally free himself from this world of material security and well-being. Chapter 4: Detritic Current This Time, the author begins the chapter with a phrase from Paul Shepard's book The Man in the Landscape: A Historic Kind of Aesthetics of Nature. In 1990, guards found an old Datsun abandoned in the middle of Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The car belonged to Chris McCandless, who was supposed to leave it there after he decided to jump off the freeway and take his own route. Unfortunately, the storm caused the waterway to go up and his car's engine was completely wet. Weighing the options, Chris decided to drop it and just take with him the most important things, he also decided to burn all the money that he carried with him. These details are known because Chris described them in a notebook, which he used as a diary and photo album. Over the next period of time Chris fed himself mostly wild berries and mobilized hitchhiking, a situation that led him to some people he decided not to lose contact with, including Ian Burres and her boyfriend Bob, the motorized bum who took him in his caravan. It was during this period that he met Wayne Westerberg. On the other hand, his family, concerned about his disappearance, hired a private detective to find him. Then he talks about how Chris managed to get to the Red River, and he decided to continue the canoeing trip to the Gulf of California. During his journey he was lost several times, one of them described it in his diary as follows: Finally! Alex found what appeared to be a Wellteco canal and was moving south. Fears and fears strike him again as he sees the channel narrowing more and more. Locals help him carry a canoe to overcome the castle Alex discovers that the Mexicans are affectionate and responsive; much more hospitable than Americans ... John Krakauer, to the wild routes, page 56 Later, manages to get to his destination, but when he resumes his canoe journey he misses again and travels for 36 days along the deserted beaches, feeding on two kilograms of rice he was carrying with him. This last situation convinced him that he was capable of surviving in Alaska. Chapter 5: Bullhead City Author begins the fifth chapter with a quote from Jack London's book The Call of the Jungle, and then presents the following inscription of Alex inside the bus, which refers to this book.
