A summer in Switzerland (4/4): Dare literary exoticism…

In this final instalment of our summer series “Un été en Suisse”, we invite you to cross (in all serenity, I promise!) the linguistic borders of our country through Swiss German, Ticino and Romansh authors.

For some, vacationing in Switzerland is a choice imposed (or not!) by you-know-what… Despite the general mood, summer is sacred, and vacations even more so! That’s why we’ve concocted the ultimate summer challenge for you: discover the literature of the Ticino, Romansch and Swiss German regions, to guarantee you a Made in Switzerland immersion experience.

Come and discover our selection on site from August 13 to September 10, or online at eLectures.

To find out more, while staying in Switzerland, here are a few links:

• German-language literature on the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland (DHS)
