Why the title Travel with a Donkey in the Cevennes ? Because Modestine, the female donkey is as important as Stevenson in this travel. And Stevenson is much more my kind!įirst he seems, from the first pages, totally franck: he tells us about his troubles, his mistakes, his faults, as well as his joys and the pleasure he takes for this travel as a young and enthousiastic man a tiny twelve days travel, but after which, definitively, nothing will ever be the same for Stevenson. But also so many differencies between Thoreau and Stevenson.

There are similar ways of living their adventures, similar thoughts about nature, food, Men, society and philosophy. Two men living for a certain time in the nature. Few days ago, after finishing Walden by Thoreau, I picked it up… just because it was small ! And what an interesting reading after Walden : I had this book on my shelves for one or two years.
