Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of the Evil One It is probably safe to say that most English - speak ing people are more familiar with the winter-sports of Switzerland than With its literature. Even those Who are vaguely conscious of the Swiss birth of Rousseau, Vinet, Benjamin Constant, and Amie], have never thought of them as part of a national Swiss literature. Nor have the writers of modern F rench Switzerland emerged any more clearly from the mainstream of French literature. A few read ers may remember the nationality of Edouard Rod, which prevented his election to the French Academy. But how many living Swiss writers are known? When one has explored for many years a bypath of letters and made some interesting discoveries, it is at once gratifying and embarrassing to be called upon to justify one's weakness for adventuring out side the main-travelled roads of European literature. That is the position in which I find myself as I try. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
