Chronicling a 12-day, 120-mile solo hike through the Cevennes mountains, the narrative captures both adventure and personal longing. Stevenson, seeking to be with his beloved while yearning for exploration, encounters the challenges of outdoor life, including his stubborn donkey, Modestine. This work is notable for its early depiction of hiking and camping as recreational activities. Additionally, it addresses the religious tensions between Protestants and Catholics in the region, providing a rich cultural context to his journey.
