Im August 1992 wurde die Leiche von Chris McCandless im Eis von Alaska gefunden. Wer war dieser junge Mann, und was hatte ihn in die gottverlassene Wildnis getrieben? Jon Krakauer hat sein Leben erforscht, seine Reise in den Tod rekonstruiert und ein traurig-schönes Buch geschrieben über die Sehnsucht, die diesen Mann veranlasste, sämtliche Besitztümer und Errungenschaften der Zivilisation hinter sich zu lassen, um tief in die wilde und einsame Schönheit der Natur einzutauchen.– Verfilmt von Sean Penn mit Emile Hirsch.

Die Wespenfabrik

Protagonist Frank Cauldham, 16 Jahre alt, lebt mit seinem wahnsinnigen Vater in einem vereinsamten Haus im schottischen Hochland. Abseits familiärer Behütetheit entwickelt Frank seine eigene Fantasiewelt der Grausamkeiten und der Bestrafungen, eine von Ritualen und Totems bestimmte Gegenrealität. Als sein in eine geschlossene Anstalt abgeschobener Bruder ausbricht, um die Geheimnisse seiner Familie zu lüften, droht Franks Weltentwurf endgültig aus den Fugen zu geraten, hat er doch mittlerweile drei Morde begangen ... Iain Banks Debütroman Die Wespenfabrik ist eine wilde, zornige Mischung aus der "Blechtrommel" und "American Psycho". Teils psychopathologische Innenansicht eines jugendlichen Killers, teils schwarzhumorige schottische Familiengeschichte, wurde das Buch bei seinem Erscheinen 1984 gleichermaßen bejubelt und bekämpft. Wollten die konservativen Kritiker darin nur eine Gewaltorgie sehen, so erkannte ein sensibleres Publikum das erste Werk einer starken erzählerischen Stimme vom Schlage eines Alasdair Gray oder einer A. L. Kennedy.
