from The Robert Louis Stevenson Library · host Robert Louis Stevenson

In which the traveller, accompanied by his steadfast donkey Modestine, departs the monastery gate under a promising sky and journeys through varied landscapes—navigating upland fields, beech and birch woods, and the singing village of Lestampes—before confronting the stubbornness of his donkey on a steep shortcut over the mountain of La Goulet. Thereafter, he traverses a solitary, stone-marked upland path amidst springy turf and sparse company, contemplating the quiet, pastoral world unfolding beyond.
