Product details

A great topic for a cultural scientist, and Bewes is the perfect guide. Financial Times, Book of the Year. A brand new edition of the international bestseller, featuring new sections on the Swiss elections, the Swiss citizenship test, and how Brexit has affected Switzerland. One country, four languages, 26 cantons, and 7.5 million people (but only 80% of them are Swiss): there is nothing like this in Europe. Switzerland may be almost 400 km from the nearest drop of seawater, but it is an island in the heart of Europe. Welcome to the landlocked island. Swiss Watching is a fascinating journey through Europe's most unique and misunderstood country. From the search for Heidi and the best chocolate to confronting a bloody past and exploring an uncertain future, Diccon Bewes demonstrates that Switzerland has more to offer than banks and skis, francs and cheese. This book debunks myths and reveals the truth.
