Cuatro meses más tarde, unos cazadores encontraron su cuerpo sin vida.

Můžeme utéct před něčím, co potřebujeme k životu nejvíc? Autor líčí příběh mladého muže z dobře situované rodiny, který tragicky zahynul při své osamělé pouti Amerikou v syrové aljašské divočině.

Kultovní kniha Jona Krakauera, který líčí mladíkovu strastiplnou i osvobozující cestu a zároveň se snaží odhalit motivy jeho extrémního rozhodnutí, se stala předlohou stejnojmenného filmu v režii Seana Penna.
