Historical

Clare O'Dea promises to change the way the world thinks about modern Switzerland - and give Swiss readers much to think about too. In ten chapters O'Dea dismantles the most positive myths of modern Switzerland (The Swiss are Rich/Brilliant/Have the Perfect Democracy) with the same sharp journalistic eye she assesses the negative one (The Swiss are Crooked Bankers/Xenophobic/Helped the Nazis. In fact-based chapters O'Dea presents a Switzerland that will surprise even many Swiss readers.

Pilgrims and traders, soldiers and refugees, scientists and artists, alpinists and invalids: Switzerland has enticed them for more than two millennia. They have loved it and hated it, cursed it and sung its praises; they have made war and made love, reported on its food and its religion, its peaks and its poverty, its dances and its prisons. In 20 thematic chapters, "O Switzerland!" evokes a complex, ever-surprising nation in the words of over 200 travelers--from Napoleon to Nietzsche, Petrarch to Prince, Mary Shelley to Mark Twain. With his deft narration and wry humor, compiler Ashley Curtis leads the reader over the mountains and through the centuries, highlighting connections and disparities by turns ironic, hilarious, and sublime. Mark Twain on bad beer, Mary Shelley on fisticuffs, Alexandre Dumas on cannibalism, Rilke on designer soaps, Madame de Stäel on cretinism, Byron on incest, Montaigne on dirty linen, Felix Mendelssohn on flood damage, Leo Tolstoy on desire, James Baldwin on nightmares, George Sand on invisible virgins, J.R.R. Tolkein on sleeping in the rough, Henry James on knitting, Charles Dickens on human dust, Goethe on footbaths, Pope Pius XI on chocolate and kirsch, Nathaniel Hawthorne on hangings, Joseph Addison on witchcraft, Samuel Butler on cherrypicking, Zelda Fitzgerald on teacups, Hans Arp on Dada, Friedrich Nietzsche on raw eggs, John Ruskin on soaped poles, Poggio Bracciolini on the garden of pleasure, Voltaire on gardening, Lenin on armed revolution, Gertrude Bell on rock climbing, D.H. Lawrence on throwing sticks, and much, much more: here is Switzerland as you have never seen it before.

Expat readers everywhere will be inspired by the personal and professional dexterity of these often-invisible travelers. Swiss readers will learn about their neighbours from abroad. This book is for anyone who has ever moved abroad - or knows someone who has. Read and be inspired. "It has been said that no one can understand the expat experience unless they have lived through it. This book may change that. The stories are very moving, describing the pain of separation and sacrifices made as well as the courage needed to step out into the unknown. Encouragement comes from the cultural riches gained and a warm welcome experienced in unexpected places." Margaret Oertig, author of Going Local and Beyond Chocolate "This is an absolute must read for anyone moving to a foreign country with their spouse and I think corporations should provide it in every transfer packet they give to their employees." Martha Borst, author of Your Survival Strategies are Killing You "Anyone who has ever moved abroad will recognize themselves in this wonderful book. Reading it will make you realize you are not alone." John Baker, former Centrepoint president
