Henry David Thoreau's story of his years spent in a small cabin in
the Massachusetts forests has had an international impact out of
all proportion to its apparently simple bucolic subject. But in
Walden, Thoreau uses his life in the woods to produce both a social
critique of Western Culture, and to examine many fundamental
questions of human existence. The book is part voyage of
self-discovery, part alternative manifesto for a better world, and
comes to a series of conclusions on simplicity, contemplation and
self-sufficiency that are surprisingly modern in their outlook,
arguing that very little of our modern 'needs' are necessary to
achieve a happy and harmonious existence.
