Summary
SuperSummary, a modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, offers high-quality instructional study guides for challenging works of literature. This audio study guide for Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer includes detailed summary and analysis of each chapter and an in-depth exploration of the book’s multiple symbols, motifs, and themes such as travel as a mode of spiritual pilgrimage, food as a sacred substance, and the joys of solitude versus the joys of society. Featured content also includes commentary on major characters, 25 important quotes, essay questions, and discussion topics.
Into the Wild, the biography of Christopher McCandless, is one of the most successful pieces of outdoor nonfiction writing in contemporary literature. McCandless hitchhiked to Alaska in 1992, where he intended to live in seclusion, subsisting solely on what he could forage and hunt. Although he survived for nearly four months alone in the wild, McCandless succumbed to starvation and passed away in August 1992. Into the Wild is the result of Krakauer’s research into McCandless’ life and journey.
