Dust jacket worn rubbed to edges with a little loss. Price clipped.Original cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. 288 pages clean and tight. A series of twelve literary essays. Although Switzerland is only a small nation, she can look back on a long and fascinating history. The Swiss Confederation can be described as the end product of prevailing common sense which welded together four distinctly different ethnic and linguistic groups and safeguarded their independent cultural development. So while there is no truly "Swiss" literature, one can speak with Professor Calgari of "The four Literatures of Switzerland", of which the German-language sector naturally is predominant, as German is the mother tongue of about 70 per cent of the Swiss population. This volume tries to do justice to all facets of the intriguing Swiss literary scene, its diversity and its common "esprit suisse" and hopes to convey the spirit of a small country in which culture and literary creation have always been and continue to be of vital importance. Size: 8vo.
