Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes and the Amateur Emigrant – Robert Louis Stevenson – #8.99
‘I was not only travelling out of my country in latitude and longitude, but out of myself in diet, associates, and consideration’ In 1878, Robert Louis Stevenson escaped from his numerous troubles – poor health, tormented love, inadequate funds – by embarking on a journey through the Cevennes in France, accompanied by Modestine, a rather single-minded donkey.
