Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes
Robert Louis Stevenson
Leído por Patrick Wallace
A classic of travel writing, this book recounts Stevenson's adventures on an extended walk through uplands and mountains in south-western France. Humorous on his own failings as a traveller, and on his travails with Modestine the self-willed donkey, it is also an exploration of peasant life in an area marked by the violence of the wars of religion. This version includes the fragment "A mountain town in France", originally intended as the opening chapter, but often omitted and published as a separate essay. (Summary by Patrick Wallace) (3 hr 57 min)

One of my favorite books ever! The reader is excellent. Once I attempted to retrace Stevenson’s adventure. Things have changed a lot, but it’s possible. I couldn’t find a donkey, but I had a knapsack and a sleeping bag.

RLS had incredible talent at painting vivid mental image with words. This version was beautifully narrated with musical inflection that render it a joy to hear.
not bad

the reader is great but the book itself is a bit lacking in adventure and pacing that most of his works show so much of.
Delightful book. Superb reader.

The voice is measured, and pleasant to my octogenarian ear.
