The book recounts Stevenson's 12-day solo hiking journey through the remote mountains of south-central France, accompanied by Modestine, a stubborn donkey he struggles to control. This pioneering work of outdoor literature presents hiking and camping as recreation, while exploring themes of solitude, Protestant history, and the philosophy of traveling for its own sake.
