"A great subject for a cultural anthropologist and Bewes is a perfect guide." Financial Times,<wbr> Book of the Year
One country,<wbr> four languages,<wbr> 26 cantons,<wbr> 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,<wbr> 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,<wbr> Diccon Bewes proves that there's more to Switzerland than banks and skis,<wbr> francs and cheese. This book dispels the myths and unravels the true meaning of Swissness.
