Swiss Watching: Inside the Land of Milk and Money
Diccon Bewes

A brand new edition of the international bestseller. Swiss Watching is a fascinating journey around Switzerland that goes beyond the cliches of banks, skis, francs and cheese

`A great subject for a cultural anthropologist and Bewes is a perfect guide` Financial Times, Book of the Year

A brand new edition of the international bestseller, with 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 Swiss): there`s nowhere else in Europe like it. Switzerland may be almost 400 km from the nearest drop of seawater, but it is an island at the centre 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.
