"Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes" is a book written by Robert Louis
Stevenson in 1879. It is considered a classic of outdoor literature and
recounts Stevenson's 12-day hiking journey through the Cévennes mountains in
France. The purpose of his journey was to distance himself from a disapproved
love affair and gather material for publication. Stevenson's companion on the
journey was a stubborn donkey named Modestine. The book is one of the earliest
accounts of hiking and camping as recreational activities. It also explores
the history of the Protestant rebellion in the Cévennes and the coexistence of
Catholics and Protestants in the region. The book was dedicated to Stevenson's
friend Sidney Colvin. The route Stevenson took has since become popular among
hikers, and there have been various adaptations of the book in films and
theater.
