About this ebook

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.

Tales from the Dordogne
Author

Rudolph Lea

The author, Rudi Lea, tells how he crossed the Atlantic Ocean six times on ocean liners before planes took over. He was a member of the first group of German Jewish children to leave Berlin, because of the Nazi take-over of Germany, to be raised by a foster family in the United States. His real parents were prominent musicians in Germany, largely before he was born. He returned to the country of his birth as an American GI during World War II, taking part in the final defeat of Nazi Germany, and then again, later, as the first American principal of Berlin’s famous bi-national and bilingual John F. Kennedy School. Lea had a notable career in public education both in the United States and in Germany, and now lives in semi-retirement in the Philadelphia suburbs.
