"Swiss Allmends, and a Walk to See Them: Being a Second Month in Switzerland" by F. Barham Zincke is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the author's explorations and observations during a month-long excursion in Switzerland, specifically focusing on the concept of commonable lands known as "Almends." The book delves into the geography, culture, and daily lives of the Swiss people, making it an insightful guide for readers interested in historical and cultural travel literature. The opening of the narrative sets the tone for Zincke's journey, beginning with his arrival at Bretzwyl, a village far from typical tourist paths. The author provides a detailed account of his interactions with Professor Heusler, a local authority on Swiss commonable lands, showcasing the cooperative spirit of well-informed locals. As Zincke explores the landscape, he juxtaposes the beauty of the natural setting with the vibrant village life, including a dance and concert that the villagers celebrate in the evening. Through vivid descriptions and personal encounters, the opening portion effectively introduces the book's themes of exploration and cultural examination, inviting readers to join the author on this unique Swiss adventure.
