About this audiobook
An alternative guide to Switzerland, with a pint of irony and a drop of causticity. A condensed introduction to the 26 cantons of the Confederation. Superspy Sigmundur Sig Sigmundsson is sent for one month to Switzerland to understand why Swiss people are happier than Icelandic people.
Author
Cédric H. Roserens
Écrivain-voyageur, nomade numérique, rédacteur web, chocoholique, un brin vexillologue, et observateur attentif de la voûte céleste, CÉDRIC HENRI ROSERENS est né à Martigny (Valais, Suisse) en 1974, un peu trop tard pour être James Cook et explorer les eaux infinies de l'océan Pacifique, un peu trop tôt pour être James Kirk et explorer les espaces infinis de notre Galaxie.
