In 1986, a man named Christopher Knight walked into the woods of Maine and never came out. For twenty-seven years, he lived alone in the wilderness, surviving on what he could find and evading capture. He became known as the "North Pond Hermit," and his story is one of the most incredible tales of survival ever told.

In The Stranger in the Woods, Michael Finkel tells Knight's story in his own words. Knight describes how he came to live in the woods, how he survived, and how he was finally captured. Finkel also explores the psychological toll that Knight's isolation took on him, and the challenges he faced when he returned to society.

The Stranger in the Woods is a gripping and thought-provoking book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. It is a story of survival, resilience, and the human spirit. It is also a story about the importance of human connection and the dangers of isolation.

"The Stranger in the Woods is a must-read for anyone interested in survival, resilience, or the human condition." - Booklist
