Download or read book Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published by Dover Publications. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temperament and poor health motivated Robert Louis Stevenson to travel widely throughout his short life, and before he was celebrated as the author of Treasure Island, A Child's Garden of Verses, and other immortal works, he was known for his travelogues. This collection presents some of his finest writing in that vein, starting with "An Inland Voyage." This 1878 chronicle of a canoe journey through Belgium and France charmingly captures the European villages and townspeople of a bygone era. Other selections include "Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes," a humorous account of a mountain trek, and "Forest Notes," a meditation on nature based on visits to the Forest of Fontainebleau near Paris and adjacent artists' colonies. These early writings offer captivating insights into Stevenson's bohemian nature and the wanderlust that sent him from his native Scotland to journeys around the world.

Download or read book Victorians in the Mountains written by Ann C. Colley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her compelling book, Ann C. Colley examines the shift away from the cult of the sublime that characterized the early part of the nineteenth century to the less reverential perspective from which the Victorians regarded mountain landscapes. And what a multifaceted perspective it was, as unprecedented numbers of the Victorian middle and professional classes took themselves off on mountaineering holidays so commonplace that the editors of Punch sarcastically reported that the route to the summit of Mont Blanc was to be carpeted. In Part One, Colley mines diaries and letters to interrogate how everyday tourists and climbers both responded to and undercut ideas about the sublime, showing how technological advances like the telescope transformed mountains into theatrical spaces where tourists thrilled to the sight of struggling climbers; almost inevitably, these distant performances were eventually reenacted at exhibitions and on the London stage. Colley's examination of the Alpine Club archives, periodicals, and other primary resources offers a more complicated and inclusive picture of female mountaineering as she documents the strong presence of women on successful expeditions in the latter half of the century. In Part Two, Colley turns to John Ruskin, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Robert Louis Stevenson, whose writings about the Alps reflect their feelings about their Romantic heritage and shed light on their ideas about perception, metaphor, and literary style. Colley concludes by offering insights into the ways in which expeditions to the Himalayas affected people's sense of the sublime, arguing that these individuals were motivated as much by the glory of Empire as by aesthetic sensibility. Her ambitious book is an astute exploration of nationalism, as well as theories of gender, spectacle, and the technicalities of glacial movement that were intruding on what before had seemed inviolable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am a Londoner, but I married an Irish orphan brought up by the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity in Stillorgan, which is now just a suburb of Dublin. When he was fourteen, they considered their obligation finished and sent him to work in Offley on a farm owned by Mrs White. She was a good Roman Catholic and needed transporting to St Josephs monastery in Tipperary every Sunday. The monks there realised that a lad of fourteen still needed a father figure. The monk in charge of the dairy took him under his wing. This was the leading dairy in Southern Ireland at the time and where the seeds were sown for my husbands dream to have his own farm. The book is about our struggle to start farming in the fifties with no capital, which would be impossible in the twenty-first century and was difficult even then.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes by Robert Louis Stevenson.(1879) is one of the first published works of Robert Louis Stevenson and is considered a classic pioneer of outdoor literature. Stevenson was in his early 20s and still depended on the help of his parents. Her trip was designed to provide material for publication while allowing her to distance herself from a love story with an American woman that her friends and family did not approve of and that she had returned to her husband in California. Travel 12-day, 200-kilometer (120-mile) accounts of Stevenson's solo excursion touring the sparsely populated and impoverished areas of the Cévennes mountains in south-central France in 1878. The terrain, with its heather-filled slopes Barren rocky, it is often compared to parts of Scotland. The other main character is Modestine, a stubborn and manipulative donkey that he could never dominate. It is one of the first accounts to present hiking and camping outdoors as a recreational activity. It also tells about the launch of one of the first sleeping bags, big and heavy enough to need a donkey to carry. Stevenson is repeatedly mistaken for a street vendor, the usual occupation of someone who travels his way.
