Book Excerpt
“What that pace was, there is no word mean enough to describe; it was something as much slower than a walk as a walk is slower than a run; it kept me hanging on each foot for an incredible length of time; in five minutes it exhausted the spirit and set up a fever in all the muscles of the leg.”

Synopsis
"Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes" is a travel narrative by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was first published in 1879 and details his 12-day journey through the Cévennes mountains in southern France. The book is a commentary on his journey and the people he met along the way. It is also filled with humorous descriptions of his stubborn travel companion, Modestine the donkey. Stevenson's tale is riddled with folk stories told to him by farmers and peasants he meets, a socially marginalised group in society. He makes observations about French life, religion, and politics throughout the journey. His writing is full of vivid imagery, humor, and insight. This short travel writing book is a must-read for anyone who enjoys travel literature, outdoor adventure, and the works of Robert Louis Stevenson.
