Summary: "Two Summers in Guyenne: A Chronicle of the Wayside and Waterside" by Edward Harrison Barker is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The book encapsulates the author’s experiences and observations during his summers spent in the picturesque regions of Aquitaine, focusing particularly on the scenic Dordogne River and the surrounding landscapes of Périgord and the Bordelais. It details the author's excursions, interactions with locals, and the intricate relationships between the geography and the people inhabiting these lands, ultimately providing readers with a vivid portrayal of a bygone era. The opening of the book introduces the author's journey through the Upper Dordogne region, transitioning from the volcanic Auvergne mountains to the verdant, rugged landscapes of Aquitaine. As he travels, he encounters various aspects of nature, from wildflowers adorning the rocky gorges to charming rural scenes involving local residents, such as a cobbler and a peasant woman. His observations highlight the clash between the beauty and the inhospitable terrain, as he reflects on the challenges of traversing the dense forests and steep ravines.
