In 1857, Thoreau "withdrew from the world" and spent two years in a hand-built cabin on the shores of Walden Pond. The result of his voluntary recluse was Walden, or Life in the Woods, a book of 18 interconnected chapter-essays that still continues to have a tremendous influence on the widest circles of young people with nonconformist beliefs. "Conscious consumption", rejection of the cult of material prosperity, love and respect for nature are just a few of the ideas that modern society has learned from Thoreau's book. From the first book of Western culture in which simplicity and self-sufficiency, intellectual improvement and closeness to nature are openly proposed as a worthy alternative to the "consumer society".
