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. Chtěl nalézt sám sebe, utéct před svazující společností, oprostit se od všeho zbytečného a dokázat, že člověk může žít v souladu s přírodou. 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.

Par l'auteur d'"Into the wild" et de "Tragédie à l'Everest". Fou d'alpinisme, Jon Krakauer nous offre ici le récit de douze aventures en montagne. Il nous entraîne ainsi dans l'ascension du sommet de l'Eiger, de cascades de glace mais aussi sur les parois d'un canyon du Colorado, nous livrant au passage sa vision personnelle -et quelque peu critique- de Chamonix, cette "capitale mondiale de l'alpinisme".
