Description Wiki
Stevenson was in his late 20s and still dependent on his parents for support. His journey was designed to provide material for publication while allowing him to distance himself from a love affair with an American woman of which his friends and families did not approve and who had returned to her husband in California. Travels recounts Stevensons 12-day, 200-kilometre (120 mi) solo hiking journey through the sparsely populated and impoverished areas of the C vennes mountains in south-central France in 1878.[1] The terrain, with its barren rocky heather-filled hillsides, he often compared to parts of Scotland. The other principal character is Modestine, a stubborn, manipulative donkey he could never quite master.

Description GoodReads
This volume of Stevensons travel writings includes his first published book "An Island Voyage" (1878) – a vivid account of a canoe voyage in Belgium and France in two sail-powered skiffs, named "Cigarette" and "Arethusa" – and Stevensons popular description of a tour with his recalcitrant donkey Modestine, "Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes" (1879). Stevensons natural affinity for France, his appreciation of its landscape, and his enthusiasm for the French way of life are borne out by these works. Top genres for this book
