Synopsis

The rules are known: whoever has, is given. Everyone for itself, and the market against all. In the end, save who can. The playing field is Switzerland. Giovanni Orelli guides the reader through the rich, beautiful, perfectly organized country, and in the ritual of the game for money, possession and influence, he shows the fine, fixed web between yesterday and today, between highly organized military hierarchy and well-thought-out financial strategy. The metaphor of the dice game runs through the whole novel, it leads in 20 stages to the most beautiful and important cities, on lakes and mountains, the scent of chocolate and the magic of electronically monitored bank vaults, in which the world's fortune is stored, form the background to a game in which the poor and the under-gifted, the foreign workers and 3 have found space like the tops of society. A furious satire on Switzerland of charming unabashedness.
