Jon Krakauer is still alive today because he wrote the book Into the Wild about the tragic death of Christopher McCandless in the wilds of Alaska. Krakauer interwove stories of his own experiences as a young man exploring the wilderness (as well as those of others) in an attempt to understand the motivations of McCandless.

Since the publication and huge success of Into the Wildin 1996, Jon Krakauer has written several other books, including Into Thin Air and Where Men Win Glory.

He had to write an article for a magazine about Christopher McCandless. He was so curious about this story and so in awe that he decided to do more research and write a book.
