Summary
In 1878 Robert Louis Stevenson escaped from his numerous troublesāpoor health, tormented love, inadequate fundsāby embarking on a journey through the CĆ©vennes in France, accompanied by Modestine, a rather single-minded donkey. The notebook Stevenson kept during this time became Travels with a Donkey in the CĆ©vennes(1879), a highly entertaining account of the French and their country. The Amateur Emigrant(1895) describes his travels to and around America: the crowded weeks in steerage, the cross-country train journey. Filled with sharp-eyed observations, it brilliantly conveys Stevensonās perceptions of America and the Americans. Together, these writings reveal as much about the traveler as the places he travels to.
