Ordered South by Robert Louis Stevenson

A reflective journey to the south becomes an escape not just from illness, but toward serenity, warmth, and renewed perspective. The narrator finds beauty in landscapes and quiet towns, using his travels to meditate on health, mortality, and the pace of life. With poetic observations and gentle introspection, the story draws readers into a world of rest and thought. A quiet, lyrical essay about finding peace far from home.
