Book excerpt: In this collection of articles, the author paints vignettes and describes happenings from the vantage point of an American observer in what he has dubbed the Golden Triangle in France. The focus is on a fascinating group of persons and personal experiences in a corner of the beautiful Dordogne valley in the northern edge of the Lot that is still relatively unspoiled, and filled with an astounding number of significant places. The entire region throbs with the material reminders of prehistoric, Celtic, Roman, and medieval times, especially with the beauty of well-preserved fourteenth century villages. Above all, it is the portraits of the several protagonists that provide a look at the infinite complexity of individuals and their experiences.
