Jon Krakauer Quote

Gallien cứ băn khoăn không hiểu liệu có phải anh đã nhặt ở cuối bang thứ bốn mươi tám một trong những gã khùng muốn lên phía Bắc để sống như trong những câu chuyện tưởng tượng xốc nổi kiểu Jack London hay không. Alaska từ lâu đã là một thỏi nam châm đối với các anh chàng mơ mộng và không thích nghi được với xã hội, những kẻ cho rằng sự khắc nghiệt cực độ của chốn thâm sơn cùng cốc sẽ lấp đầy những hố thẳm trong cuộc đời họ.
