A recent book by historian Olivier Meuwly invites us to take a closer look at this Neuchâtel native, who was elected to the Swiss government at the age of 31. An inspiring figure in his own right, this radical who became a liberal-conservative over time retains an air of mystery about him.

En octobre 2021, l’écrivain morgien Blaise Hofmann a publié «Deux petites maîtresses zen». Un texte qui relate son épopée asiatique avec sa compagne et ses deux filles, aventure qui a brusquement pris fin avec l’apparition du Covid.
