"Switzerland" by Frank Fox is a historical travel guide that paints a vivid picture of early 20th-century Switzerland, focusing on its awe-inspiring scenery and deep-rooted history while shedding light on Swiss culture and lifestyle. The book explores how Switzerland’s distinct landscape has molded its culture and society, inviting readers to journey through the country's most captivating sights and historical narratives. The preface challenges romanticized notions about the Swiss, explaining that the country's stunning environment alone does not fully define its people or fully give someone admirable traits and invites curiosity about the complex story of the country's evolution and the intimate connection between its people and their homeland.
