内容简介

This volume of Stevenson's travel writings--the only collection in print--includes his first published book, An Inland Voyage (1878), a vivid account of a canoe voyage in Belgium and France in two sail-powered skiffs, and his popular description of a tour with his recalcitrant donkey Modestine in Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes (1879). This edition also includes a selection of travel essays deriving from the writer's experiences on the Cote d'Azur, at Fontainebleau, and in the Swiss Alps, each revealing Stevenson's iconoclasm, his unconventionality, and the Bohemian stance which brought about his confrontation with the Edinburgh literary establishment.
