“I HAVE HAD A HAPPY LIFE AND THANK THE LORD. GOODBYE AND MAY GOD BLESS All!”
Final written goodbye, August 13, 1992 http://www.christophermccandless.info/bio.html
Christopher Johnson McCandless, , también conocido por su pseudónimo "Alexander Supertramp", fue un excursionista estadounidense, cuyos viajes y andanzas, unidas a su sencillo estilo de vida, terminaron por convertirlo en un icono popular.[1]
Falleció en Alaska, cerca del parque nacional Denali, después de vivir en solitario en medio de las montañas con escasa comida y un equipo insuficiente durante casi cuatro meses. Jon Krakauer escribió un libro sobre su vida titulado Into the Wild en 1996, que inspiró en 2007 la película homónima dirigida por Sean Penn y protagonizada por Emile Hirsch.

“HAPPINESS ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED.”
Written on a page in his copy of Doctor Zhivago
He is attributed to have commented on this Doctor Zhivago passage: "And so it turned out that only a life similar to the life of those around us, merging with it without a ripple, is genuine life, and that an unshared happiness is not happiness..." (Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild, Pan Macmillan, 2011 p. 188; see also http://www.christophermccandless.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5479)
