ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Stranger in the Woods" by Michael Finkel tells the story of Christopher Knight, a man who lived alone in the Maine woods for 27 years, becoming known as the North Pond Hermit. The book explores his reasons for leaving society, his methods for surviving the harsh winters, and the psychological implications of such extreme isolation. It details his interactions with the outside world through a series of burglaries at nearby cabins, and how he sustained himself with the items he stole. The narrative also examines the public's fascination with Knight after his capture, and the challenges he faced when attempting to re-enter society. The story goes into Knight's background, and how his beliefs and philosophies shaped his solitary life, touching on themes of solitude, autonomy, and the individual versus society.
