內容簡介

榮獲《金融時報》年度書籍,一個文化人類學家的瑞士觀察。

國際暢銷書《瑞士觀察》全新版,新收錄瑞士選舉與入籍考試,以及英國脫歐對瑞士的影響。

瑞士地處歐洲,有26個州,750萬人口(但只有百分之八十為瑞士籍),離最近的海域有數千英哩,但是它卻像是被歐洲諸國所包圍的島嶼,因為它是那麼地與眾不同。

本書帶你尋訪阿爾卑斯山的少女與最好的巧克力,重返該國血腥的過往,與探索它不確定的未來,說明瑞士為什麼是歐洲最獨特也最被誤解的國家。瑞士不是只有銀行與滑雪,法郎與乳酪。本書破除人們對瑞士的迷思,並展現何謂真正的瑞士精神。

'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 hundreds of miles away from the nearest drop of seawater, 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, 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.
