Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes - The Heart of the Country

from The Robert Louis Stevenson Library · host Robert Louis Stevenson

In which the traveller arrives at Cassagnas, a remote hamlet steeped in the stirring history of the Camisards, and encounters its steadfast Protestant inhabitants with their quiet, dignified faith and simple ways. As he journeys onward beneath chestnut trees and moonlit hills, the landscape reveals its solitary grandeur, while the soft strains of a distant ballad and the whispering winds invite reflections on love, hope, and the enduring spirit of the Cevennes.
