The Naked Swiss Clare Odea by Clare O’dea instant download after payment.

In The Naked Swiss: A Nation Behind 10 Myths, journalist Clare O’Dea promises to change the way the world thinks about modern Switzerland – and give Swiss readers much to think about too. In 10 fact-based chapters O’Dea investigates positive myths of modern Switzerland (The Swiss are Rich/Brilliant/Have the Perfect Democracy) with the same sharp journalistic eye she uses to assess negative ones (The Swiss are Crooked Bankers/Xenophobic/Helped the Nazis). It is a view of Switzerland that will surprise even many Swiss readers. O’Dea – a ten-year veteran at Swissinfo, and now Swiss herself – introduces readers to a cast of real Swiss, painting a lively country through many anecdotes. It is a Switzerland of the 21st century – a Switzerland of working mothers, banks gone bankrupt, and multicultural football teams. The Naked Swiss is a book that isn’t afraid to address past shame and present national crises. The author speaks five languages, has visited all 26 cantons, and is the mother of three Swiss children, and her deep knowledge of the country is on display page after page.The Naked Swiss - which received praise from Switzerland’s conservative weekly news magazine Die Weltwoche - promises to be the most important book about Switzerland for international readers for the next several years to come.
