Synopsis "Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes"

"We are all travellers in what John Bunyan calls the wilderness of this world-all, too, travellers with a donkey: and the best that we find in our travels is an honest friend. He is a fortunate voyager who finds many."-Robert Louis Stevenson, Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879) Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes (1879) is a classic of travel literature by Robert Louis Stevenson about his 12-day, 120-mile walking tour in the French Cévennes mountain range, accompanied by his donkey, Modestine. This book is one of the first to present hiking and camping as recreational activities, and is as influential as Stevenson's fiction.

(Edinburgh, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) British novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist. He entered the University of Edinburgh at the age of sixteen to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lighthouse engineer, a career he would later abandon. His nautical studies allowed him to come into contact with seafaring people and customs, key ingredients in some of his most famous works. His renowned work, Treasure Island, was published under the pseudonym Captain George North in 1881. In 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one of the great classics of literature, was released. He died on the island of Samoa, at his home, Vailima.
