Gebrauchsanweisung für die Schweiz

Here, everything is a bit more beautiful: the lakes, mountains, and cities, the people, the shops, and the clothes in Switzerland, the four-language Alpine country between art, cheese, and cantons, idyll, and industrial nation. Thomas Küng not only knows the chocolate densities of his homeland, which is world-famous for its precision products. With wit and irony, he writes about mentalities, business practices, and the rivalry of cities. He takes us to Zurich, Lucerne, and Geneva, to the Basel Fasnacht and to the capital Bern, where a miracle happened for Germany in 1954. He reveals why no Swiss eats muesli and how you can navigate through all the chaos. And that "tschute" and playing football are one and the same.
