“A great subject for a cultural anthropologist and Bewes is a perfect guide.” Financial Times, Book of the Year
One country, four languages, 26 cantons, and 7.5 million people (but only 75% of them Swiss): there’s nowhere else in Europe like it. Switzerland may be hundreds of miles away from the nearest drop of seawater, but it is an island at the center of Europe. Welcome to the landlocked island.
Swiss Watching is a fascinating journey around Europe’s most individual and misunderstood country. From seeking Heidi and finding the best chocolate to reliving a bloody past and exploring an uncertain future, Diccon Bewes proves that there’s more to Switzerland than banks and skis, francs and cheese. This book dispels the myths and unravels the true meaning of Swissness.
