Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes
by Robert Louis Stevenson
Traveling on a donkey in Sevenna tells of Robert Louis Stevenson's 120-day walk through Sevennes, south-central France, accompanied only by his stubborn and cumbersome donkey. A groundbreaking work of open-air literature, this is one of Stevenson's earliest works, and one of the earliest accounts of hiking and camping, not a necessity. Stevenson's route is still popular today; Recently, when asked why a Scotsman still reports on the identity of the cevenns, the region's politician and historian pointed out for showing the landscape that makes us who we are.
