Melchior Anderegg (1828-1914) war einer der berühmtesten Bergführer des 19. Jahrhunderts. In Zaun bei Meiringen geboren, wurde er Holzschnitzer, als Gemsjäger erwarb er sich die Kletterfähigkeiten. Als Knecht des Grimsel-Hospiz begann er, englische Alpinisten auf Bergspitzen zu leiten und glänzte schon bald mit Erstbesteigungen im In- und Ausland. Andereggs Können und Umsicht, seine Intelligenz und seine Herzlichkeit führten ihm eine Reihe von Stammgästen zu, er prägte das Niveau für Bergführer, drei Mal wurde er vom Alpine Club nach London eingeladen. Auch lebenslange Freundschaften entstanden, insbesondere zu Lucy Walker, die dank ihm als erste Frau auf dem Matterhorn stand, ihn gerne geheiratet hätte und die er - verheiratet und Vater von zwölf Kindern - bis ins Alter von 69 Jahren in die Berge begleitete. Natascha Knecht erzählt mit dem Leben Andereggs gleichzeitig die faszinierende Blütezeit des Alpinismus, als unternehmungslustige Engländer mit Hilfe der einheimischen Führer die Schweizer Bergspitzen eroberten. Natascha Knecht, geboren und aufgewachsen in Meiringen im Berner Oberland, arbeitet seit zwanzig Jahren als Journalistin. Sie schreibt für "Tages-Anzeiger", "Schweizer Illustrierte" und "Schweizer Landliebe", vorwiegend über Alpinismus. Jede freie Minute verbringt sie am Berg. Natascha Knecht lebt in Zürich.

The Laboratory of Progress: Switzerland in the 19th Century tells the improbable story of how a small, backward, mountainous agricultural country with almost no raw materials became an industrial powerhouse, a hub of innovation, a touristic mecca and a pioneer in transportation – all in the course of a single century. That a tiny landlocked country should become a dominant steamship builder for the rest of the world; that a country that had never seen a cotton plant should become the world’s second-largest textile producer; that a country with hardly any level terrain should come to boast the world’s most highly developed railway network; and that a country whose main export was impoverished emigrants should be transformed into one of the world’s major financial centres – these astonishing developments, among many others, are explored and explained, both through the specific stories of individual innovators and through a prescient analysis of the political, economic, societal and cultural structures that formed the context in which Switzerland’s astonishing transformation took place. The book is a compelling read both for professional historians and for general readers with an interest in Switzerland; it highlights the roles of transport networks and individual pioneers in industrial and political development.

Scrounged from his notebooks and hearsay, this is the story of a schoolteacher named Konrad Zündel: a philosopher, a wanna-be writer; scattered, self-conscious, glum, anxious, unlucky, discontent . . . At the end of his rope, he decides to flee his workaday life at all costs, only to find escape always a little beyond his reach. Zündel’s Exit is a Chaplinesque comedy of disintegration, never knowing if it’s coming or going. Scrounged from his notebooks and hearsay, this is the story of a schoolteacher named Konrad Zündel: a philosopher, a wanna-be writer; scattered, self-conscious, glum, anxious, unlucky, discontent . . . At the end of his rope, he decides to flee his workaday life at all costs, only to find escape always a little beyond his reach. First his tooth falls out in the sight of other travelers, then he finds a severed finger in a restroom on a train. In fact, Zündel seems on the verge of falling to bits, as do his words, thoughts, wife, and world—will there be anything left, and anyone to hold the pieces? Zündel’s Exit is a Chaplinesque comedy of disintegration, never knowing if it’s coming or going.

After one of their own people repeatedly fails to live up to a pact with the Devil, a petty and morally bankrupt village community is plagued by a swarm of deadly black spiders. Using a complex narrative structure, Gotthelf's cautionary novella shrewdly dissects the iniquitous social dynamics of rural life. First published in 1842, The Black Spider displays its author's talent for dark satire and realism, as well as the visionary powers of his imagination.

'Gorgeous and heightened and fully of glittering icy people' TIMES 'I loved this smart and subtle exploration of modern motherhood and womanhood' Daisy Buchanan 'How can anyone leave someone they love?' Martin Berg is falling into crisis. Decades ago, he was an aspiring writer, his girlfriend was the wildly intelligent Cecilia Wickner, and his best friend was the hellraising artist Gustav Becker. But Martin's manuscript is now languishing in a drawer, Gustav has stopped answering his calls, and Cecilia has vanished – leaving him to raise their children alone. Cecilia: an eccentric wife and absent mother, a woman who was perhaps only true to herself. When Rakel stumbles across a clue as to why her mother left, she sets out to fill the gaps in her family's story and discovers that some questions have no clear answers... __________ PRAISE FOR COLLECTED WORKS: 'Utterly gripping... a magnificent doorstop of a novel' Guardian 'An assured, bittersweet novel that, like youth, seems to have it all' Financial Times 'Blends the thrill of a mystery with the curiosity and depth of philosophical enquiry' New Yorker 'Eminently readable and engrossing' Spectator 'A real knickerbocker glory of a novel... manages to out-Franzen Jonathan Franzen and is addictive as any box-set' The Crack Magazine 'Thrilling, brilliant and immense in the best possible way' Francesca Reece 'The most convincing work of literary fiction I've read in years... vibrating with intelligence and style' Emily Temple
