NELLE TERRE ESTREME

Christopher Johnson McCandless

Christopher Johnson McCandless iniziò a vagare nell’ovest degli Stati Uniti, con la volontà di vivere in solitudine per un certo periodo di tempo e per giungere infine nelle terre selvagge dell’Alaska.

Nasce il 12 febbraio dell’anno 1968 nel Sud della California. Nel 1990 si laurea con una media molto alta, ottenendo una specializzazione in Storia e Antropologia.

Di famiglia benestante decise di attraversare l’Ovest Americano da solo dopo aver donato i suoi 24.000 dollari di risparmi.

Intraprese il suo viaggio con una vecchia Datsun che fu successivamente ritrovata da un gruppo di ricercatori di fiori nel deserto del Mojave.

All’interno c’erano una chitarra, un pallone da football, un sacchetto di immondizia pieno di vecchi indumenti, una canna da pesca, 10 kg di riso, un rasoio elettrico nuovo, un’armonica a bocca, i cavi della batteria e le chiavi.

Christopher abbandonò il proprio mezzo a causa di un’inondazione proveniente dal fiume accanto al quale si era accampato, che bagnò il motore rendendo l’automobile inutilizzabile.

Prima di lasciare la sua auto bruciò i propri risparmi e si liberò di ogni prova della sua identità, gettando via anche la targa dell’auto.

Proseguì quindi a piedi viaggiando tra Stati Uniti occidentali e Messico settentrionale.

Trascorse gli ultimi 112 giorni della sua vita nei boschi dell’Alaska, nel parco nazionale di Denali, Il suo unico rifugio era un vecchio autobus abbandonato, da lui chiamato Magic Bus.

Per un certo periodo, Chris riuscì a sopravvivere con l’ausilio di pochi strumenti: un fucile, una sacca di riso, un libro sulle piante commestibili del luogo, e altri semplici oggetti da campo.

Fu ritrovato morto all’interno dell’autobus, nell’agosto del 1992, da due cacciatori che ne scoprirono il corpo a due settimane dal decesso.

Ufficialmente è morto di fame (al momento del ritrovamento il cadavere pesava circa 30 kg), ma altre possibili cause sono il freddo e l’aver accidentalmente ingerito alcune piante velenose.

Nel vecchio autobus, accanto al cadavere, furono ritrovati numerosi appunti da lui scritti.

Una macchina fotografica con cui aveva effettuato degli autoscatti, una borraccia di plastica verde, alcune pastiglie per purificare l’acqua, un paio di pantaloni imbottiti, guantoni di lana, una bottiglia di repellente per gli insetti, un cilindro consumato di burrocacao, una scatola di fiammiferi, un paio di stivali in plastica marrone e alcuni libri di autori quali Lev Tolstoj, Jack London e Henry David Thoreau.

« C’è tanta gente infelice che tuttavia non prende l’iniziativa di cambiare la propria situazione perché è condizionata dalla sicurezza, dal conformismo, dal tradizionalismo, tutte cose che sembrano assicurare la pace dello spirito, ma in realtà per l’animo avventuroso di un uomo non esiste nulla di più devastante di un futuro certo »

(Dalla lettera di McCandless scritta all’amico Ronald Franz)

    place.

    Look forward to looking over your web page repeatedly.

  67. Uusi 12-Star Euro -pelimerkkimallisto on vastaus jo pitkään euro-arvoisia pelimerkkejä toivoneille pokeriharrastajille. Merkkien tyylikäs ulkonäkö, savinen valmistusmateriaali ja erinomainen laatu muistuttavat läheisesti pelimerkkien aatelia, Paulsonia, mutta ovat hinnaltaan huomattavasti edullisemmat. Pokeriturnaukset ovat yksi pokerin mielenkiintoisimmista ja jännittävimmistä muodoista. Turnauksia pelataan netissä ympäri vuorokauden kaikissa hintaluokissa. Suurimpien turnausten palkintopotit liikkuvat jopa miljoonissa ja osallistumismaksut ovat satoja tai jopa tuhansia dollareita. Pienimmissä turnauksissa osallistumismaksut puolestaan ovat hyvin vaatimattomia, jopa 1$ luokkaa. Skaalaa siis riittää ja aloittelijakin pystyy tutustumaan turnauksiin ja harjoittelemaan niissä pelaamista, vaikka rahasijoille ei alussa aina yltäisikään. http://www.chromeillusion.com/forum/profile/sonneblett40773/ Sivujemme tarkoitus on tuoda esiin kaikki uudet kasinot mutta lisäämme sivuille myös hieman ikää kertyneitäkin kasinoita. Vanhojenkin kasinoiden lisääminen sivuille on tietysti hyvä siinä mielessä että jos oletkin jo ehtinyt kokeilla kaikkia uutuuksia! Uusien kasinoiden metsästäjät voivat jäädä paitsi joistain tosi hyvistä kasinoista jotka eivät ole uusia. Uutuus kasinot valokeilaa ikää kertyneet kasinot ”klassiset kasinot” listauksessa. Voiton osuessa, napsauta nosta ja kotiuta voittosi ulos nopeasti! MGA lisenssin ansiosta, voittosi ovat 100% verovapaat! Verovapaa voittojen kotiutus Suomeen on myös tärkeää. Suurin osa Kaikki kasinot-listan sivustoista toimii MGA:n tai Viron lisenssillä. Mukana on joitakin Curaçaon lisenssin kasinoita, kerromme tästä aina arvostelussa.

  85. My brother recommended I might like this blog. He was entirely right.
    This post actually made my day. You cann’t imagine just
    how much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!

  99. Hi there, just became aware of your blog through Google, and found that it’s really informative.

    I’m going to watch out for brussels. I will be
    grateful if you continue this in future.
    Many people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!

  101. What you said was very reasonable. But, what about this?
    what if you were to create a killer post title?
    I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website,
    however what if you added a title that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Christopher McCandless – – Nelle Terre Estreme
    –Tra Storia e Mito is kinda boring. You might peek at Yahoo’s front page and note how
    they create article titles to grab people to open the links.
    You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab people
    excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it would bring your blog
    a little bit more interesting.

  121. It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d most certainly donate to
    this superb blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account.
    I look forward to brand new updates and will
    talk about this blog with my Facebook group. Talk soon!

  125. Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an incredibly long comment
    but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear.

    Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say great blog!

  127. A motivating discussion is worth comment. I think that you should publish
    more about this topic, it may not be a taboo matter but typically people don’t talk
    about these subjects. To the next! Best
    wishes!!

  131. Sweet blog! I found it while searching on Yahoo News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it|

  132. First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Kudos!|

  137. excellent points altogether, you just gained a brand new reader.

    What could you recommend in regards to your submit that you just made some days ago?
    Any certain?

  139. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails
    with the same comment. Is there any way you
    can remove me from that service? Cheers!

  142. Undeniably imagine that which you stated. Your favourite reason seemed to be on the net the easiest factor to be mindful of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed whilst other people think about worries that they just don’t realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , other people could take a signal. Will likely be again to get more. Thanks|
