{"product_id":"2000003454730","title":"Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1878 Robert Louis Stevenson set out on a walking tour of the Cévennes behind Modestine, the donkey that carried his baggage. The one hundred twenty-mile trip was through difficult country, and Modestine proved to be less than agreeable, too. Although Stevenson's adventure lasted only twelve days, his account suggests a much longer journey, with all sorts of backward glances, detours, and retracing of steps, both on the terrain and in spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStevenson's third book, \u003ci\u003eTravels with a Donkey\u003c\/i\u003e was originally intended as a lighthearted sketch, a companion-piece to his recent \u003ci\u003eInland Voyage. \u003c\/i\u003eAlthough he would not be recognized as a major author until the publication of \u003ci\u003eTreasure Island\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,\u003c\/i\u003e one can see his voice developing. Full of charm and instruction, \u003ci\u003eTravels with a Donkey\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a guide to alternatives to the restless and distracted standard of contemporary travel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos Audiobooks Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47087518810352,"sku":"2000003454730","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2000003454730_p0.jpg?v=1763536961","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2000003454730","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
