About This Book

A richly illustrated guide examines Geneva's transformation from narrow medieval streets to a modern city, recounting political and religious upheavals including the Reformation and Calvinist rule, conflicts with neighboring powers, and civic episodes such as the Escalade. It describes the university, profiles leading theologians, scientists, and literary figures, and surveys movements in literature, romanticism, and religious revival. Paintings and sketches punctuate chapters on topography, monuments, and social customs, linking historical narrative with visual impressions.
