(GENÈVE MUNDI. Six walks to discover the footprints of the world in the city) Editions Slatkine, 2023.

It seems that all roads lead to Geneva! A land of refuge, a land of exchange, Geneva has a rich tradition of diversity and openness to the world. This book presents how, throughout its history, the city was built and inspired by encounters and exchanges with foreign personalities and communities. The proposed itineraries allow you to discover several monuments, linked to no less than 41 different countries, which bear the traces of these contacts. Come and meet, along the way, Cervantes, Michelangelo, Nelson Mandela, Violeta Parra, Armenian survivors, Vietnamese boat people and Italian seasonal workers.

Reviews

« This richly illustrated guide offering six routes full of information will certainly convince you that walking around Geneva is not necessarily limited to consumerist window shopping, but can be the ideal opportunity to complete your historical knowledge by rediscovering people whose memory deserves to be celebrated still today. Throughout these discoveries, we can be convinced that Geneva has been able to create links with foreign communities and personalities who are now part of its DNA and it has been able to defend progressive causes and values. »

« This work invites you to discover, as you walk around, how the city was built and shaped thanks to encounters and exchanges with foreign personalities and communities. » Colette de Lucia, Échappées belles, 15. 01. 2024   📖

“The city of Calvin is both a land of welcome and exchange, shaped by history, the traces of which it still bears today in the form of statues, monuments and memorial sites. This book reveals how the city was built on a tradition of openness to the world, forging an impeccable international reputation, the extent of which can be appreciated by exploring it on foot, with this richly illustrated work in hand.”

Céline Duruz, Tous les chemins mènent à... Terre et Nature, 13. 06. 2024

“Having never been to Switzerland, I truly enjoyed exploring Geneva and its surrounding areas. Especially since the city is best approached through the many sculptures and monuments that stand proudly in its parks and gardens, and through the even more numerous commemorative plaques from no fewer than 41 countries. … If I ever go to Geneva, I will definitely not forget this book in my suitcase!”

Babelio, 30 March 2024

“A beautiful book that will delight visitors to the beautiful city of Geneva, provided they are history and story lovers. Because there are plenty of them in this book of over 300 pages packed with photos. Geneva, this city both large and small, full of contrasts.”

Babelio, 7 March 2024

“We discover monuments from many countries, with a bonus of historical lessons. To explore a cosmopolitan Geneva, open to the world.”
