The Wild Truth is a must-read for fans of Into the Wild who want to know the untold backstory of Chris McCandless and the dysfunctional family that pushed him to venture into the Alaskan wilderness alone. It sheds light on the harsh reality of domestic violence hidden behind a mask of prosperity and propriety, which ultimately inspired Chris to seek redemption in the wilderness. Carine's deeply personal memoir of her own search for redemption through speaking the truth is both touching and inspiring.

Any Baedeker will tell us where we ought to travel, but only Alain de Botton will tell us how and why. With the same intelligence and insouciant charm he brought to How Proust Can Save Your Life, de Botton considers the pleasures of anticipation; the allure of the exotic, and the value of noticing everything from a seascape in Barbados to the takeoffs at Heathrow. Even as de Botton takes the reader along on his own peregrinations, he also cites such distinguished fellow-travelers as Baudelaire, Wordsworth, Van Gogh, the biologist Alexander von Humboldt, and the 18th-century eccentric Xavier de Maistre, who catalogued the wonders of his bedroom. The Art of Travel is a wise and utterly original book. Don’t leave home without it.
