About this listen

 Part history podcast, part travel guide, always a great story.

A Book - A Place: Geneva takes you to unexpected places in an often city that has a unique place in history.

Frankenstein and comic books were born here. Revolutionaries plotted. An enlightenment superstar had good reason to have houses in and just outside Geneva. And science fiction fans became real scientists at the home of the world's greatest science experiment here.

Whether you're a visitor, a newcomer, or a long-time resident, this podcast will take you to corners of the city where history was (and is still being) made.Robin Pomeroy 2024 Art Literary History & Criticism Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary World
