| Summary | "Voyage à travers les Cévennes avec un âne" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's journey through the Cévennes mountains in France, accompanied by a donkey named Modestine. It explores themes of adventure, isolation, and the beauty of nature, while offering vivid observations of the landscapes and the people Stevenson encounters along the way. At the start of the journey, Stevenson introduces himself as a traveler who prefers the less trodden paths, setting out from Monastier equipped with a unique camping gear—a large sleeping bag—and the donkey Modestine, which he acquires from a local man called the father Adam. After a series of preparations and humorous challenges related to packing and managing his supplies, he begins the trek. Fillings of amusement and frustration arise as he grapples with Modestine's stubbornness and slow pace, showcasing both the physical trials of the journey and his evolving relationship with the donkey. As the narrative unfolds, Stevenson reflects on the rustic charm of the Cévennes, explores the political strife among the locals, and contemplates his experiences amid a picturesque yet challenging landscape, all while pondering the joys and trials of solitary travel.
