In 1857, Thoreau "withdrew from the world" and spent two years in a self-built cabin on the shores of Walden Pond. The result of his self-imposed seclusion was his book, "Walden: or, Life in the Woods," a collection of 18 interconnected chapter-essays that continues to exert a profound influence on a wide range of young people with nonconformist beliefs.
"Conscious consumption," a rejection of the cult of material prosperity, and a love and respect for nature are just a few of the ideas that modern society has drawn from Thoreau's book. It is the first book in Western culture to openly offer simplicity and self-sufficiency, intellectual self-improvement, and a closeness to nature as worthy alternatives to the "consumer society."
