«Mémoires d'un âne» (Memorias de un burro) is the children's novel by the Countess of Ségur, in paperback (220 pages, in French).
It narrates the adventures and misadventures of Cadichon, a donkey who tells his own story. With irony, it portrays French society of the 19th century and addresses injustice, cruelty and hypocrisy. Its simple and accessible style invites reflection on the human condition and the way animals are treated.
