Описание к видео Book Reading: Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes, Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1 – The Donkey, the Pack, and the Pack-Saddle.

This is the story of Stevenson’s “pilgrimage”, made alone, with Modestine the donkey he bought to carry his luggage for the twelve day walk across valleys and mountains in the South of France in 1878. His notebook involves reflections on the various characters he meets in villages, inns and even a monastery, and he muses on how the religious wars of the past have shaped the communities and individuals he encounters. The journey, as one would expect with Stevenson, is beautifully described – as is the character of Modestine!
