The legendary Gotthard Pass can be called the heart of Switzerland. It is the link between north and south, and between different languages and cultures. With captivating and humorous images, the author tells the story of how the Gotthard was conquered, from the arduous medieval journey on foot, through, the days of the stagecoach, right up to modern automobiles and high-speed trains. This engineering feat and a piece of Swiss transportation history is brought vividly to life.
