One of the forerunners of the modern outdoor travel narratives. Stevenson traveled 12-days and 120 miles through the south-central Cevennes mountain range in France in 1879. The region is still do this day one of the poorest in France, and in 1703, it was the scene of a bloody Protestent rebellion against the Catholic church. Stevenson was sickly most of his life and craved adventure. He also needed to make money and this was his second book, before he became the well-known author with "Treasure Island". Provides some interesting details of an early "sleeping bag", large and heavy enough to require a donky to carry.

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com (ISBN 0810160064, Paperback)

Most of the problems travelers encounter have to do with transportation. On a 12-day trek through the Cevennes, Stevenson's cross to bear was Modestine, a stubborn, manipulative donkey he could never quite get the better of. After many humorous trials and tribulations, Stevenson found that his disdain for the creature had turned to love, and at the end of the trip he said goodbye with much regret. Written in just a few months when he was in his late twenties, the publication was initially a means to earn a quick buck. Little did Stevenson know that his Modestine would become one of the great characters in travel literature.
