In 1857, Thoreau "withdrew from the world" and spent two years in a cabin built by himself on the banks of Walden Pond. The result of his voluntary seclusion was the 18-chapter essay book Walden, or Life in the Woods, which still continues to have a huge impact on the widest circles of young people who adhere to nonconformist beliefs. "Conscious consumption", the rejection of the cult of material prosperity, love and respect for nature - these are just a few of the ideas that modern society has learned from Thoreau's book. From the first book in Western culture in which simplicity and self-sufficiency, intellectual perfection and closeness to nature are openly offered as a worthy alternative to the "consumer society".
