The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit
Michael Finkel
In 1986, twenty-year-old Christopher Knight left
his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the
woods. He would not speak to another human being until three decades
later when he was arrested for stealing food.
Christopher
survived by his wits and courage, developing ingenious ways to store
food and water in order to avoid freezing to death in his tent during
the harsh Maine winters. He broke into nearby cottages for food,
clothes, reading material and other provisions, taking only what he
needed. In the process, he unwittingly terrified a community unable to
solve the mysterious burglaries. Myths abounded amongst the locals eager
to find this legendary hermit.
Based on extensive interviews
with Knight himself, this is a vividly detailed account of his secluded
life and the challenges he faced returning to the world. The Stranger in the Woods is
a riveting story of survival that asks fundamental questions about
solitude and what makes for a good life. Above all, this is a deeply
moving portrait of a man determined to live life his own way.
