Høsten 1878 er den unge skotske forfatteren Robert Louis Stevenson preget av både lungesykdom og kjærlighetssorg. Han bestemmer seg for å legge ut på vandring i den sørfranske fjellkjeden Cevennene, der klimaet skal være godt for kropp og sjel. Dagboken fra turen blir til det som i dag regnes som en av friluftslitteraturens store klassikere. «På vandring med et esel i Cevennene» er først og fremst forfatterens betraktninger av naturen som omgir ham og menneskene han treffer underveis. Men den handler også om Stevensons eneste følgesvenn, det gjenstridige eselet Modestine, som han aldri helt makter å bli herre over. Hun gjør turen både tyngre og mer langsom enn den ville vært uten henne, men blir likevel en viktig del av Stevensons liv de tolv dagene turen varer.

I efteråret 1878 tog forfatteren Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) på en tolv dages vandring gennem den franske bjergkæde Cevennerne. Året efter udgav han med stor succes rejsedagbogen fra den tur, Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes. Rejsedagbogen udgives nu for første gang på dansk og det i Niels Brunses oversættelse. Vandringer med et æsel i Cevennerne består af Stevensons charmerende iagttagelser i naturen, af mennesker, han møder, og lokal folklore og historie. Ligesom den handler om æslet Modestine, det genstridige pakdyr, som Stevenson købte ved rejsens begyndelse. Vandringer med et æsel i Cevennerne regnes for en af verdens første ”outdoor”- bøger. I 2017 figurerede bogen på The Guardians liste over verdens hundrede bedste nonfiktion-bøger. Stevensons vandringsrute - også kaldet The Stevenson Trail - er i dag et populært mål for vandreturisme på linje med Caminoen. Robert Louis Stevenson er forfatteren bag klassikere som Skatteøen og Dr. Jekyll og Mr. Hyde.

First published in 1886, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," is Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of man's inner struggle between good and evil. The story revolves around the investigation by John Utterson, a lawyer, concerning the association between Dr. Henry Jekyll and the morally corrupt Edward Hyde, to whom Jekyll has recently willed his estate. Through the use of a magic serum Jekyll is transformed into Hyde which he does so in order to indulge in the darker side of his character. After a time Jekyll finds that he is involuntarily turning into Hyde and must use the serum, which is running low, to turn back. Stevenson from early on in his career was interested in the impact of personality on human behavior and how he could incorporate it into his stories. In "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," we have a classic examination of the duality that exists within man, which is ultimately a tale of the tragic consequences that can occur when the darker elements of one's character are let out.
