First, novels are books, but all books aren't necessarily
novels. They are also narratives, which mean they tell a story, but some nonfiction
works tell a story, also. The essential difference is that a novel is a work of fiction
as opposed to non-fiction.I believe the reason you may be confused with this issue is
due to the fact that there exists both a film version directed by Sean Penn in 2007 and
the original novel, entitled, “Into the Wild”. The novel, and yes it is a novel, that
Krakauer’s penned, focused on the life of young Christopher McCandless and his desire to
escape from society. and a lifestyle that most people would dream of. McCandless was
just entering society, with the support of a loving family he successfully graduated
from Emory University, with more than $24,000 in savings. The main force behind the
authors quest in this novel is to secure an answer to the question of why McCandless
would completely run away from all that he knew, give away everything he owned, and
simply disappear to the bitter, cold Alaskan wilderness to seek out some type of new
life.
I hope this helps.
