Le Bicorne et la Plume

Jacques Rial
Preface: Bénédict de Tscharnerci
2008, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies and DiploFoundation

Diplomats normally write a lot. It belongs to their trade. But do they publish? They certainly do since there are at least 6 Nobel Literature prize winners among them (St John Perse, Pablo Neruda, George Séféris, Ivo Andrić, Czesław Miłosz, Octavio Paz) and maybe more.
In Switzerland however (as in a few other countries) strict administrative regulations have often put a limit to this activity. Nevertheless, Jacques Rial, a retired Swiss diplomat, has looked into the catalogues of the main Swiss libraries and has made some surprising discoveries.
