Le Regard Libre N° 46 - Alexandre Wälti

Bertil Galland is a personality who has directly influenced the influence of French-speaking authors such as Jacques Chessex, Maurice Chappaz and Alexandre Voisard. A journalist before he was a publisher, he has also written eight fascinating books for Editions Slatkine (see review on www.leregardlibre.com), in which he evokes both his journalistic and editorial work and his passion for words. A generous man who gave us over an hour of his time in Vevey. A discussion that simply began with the desire to know who we are, where we come from and what we do at Regard Libre. A man who listens, and who has been on the lookout to reveal to the general public many of the talents of French-speaking Switzerland.
