This follows on immediately after the text I sent you 10 minutes ago. HELP please! "Design in der Schweiz hat sich aber in einem Thema ausgezeichnet: Am Berg. So viele Berge auf engem Landesraum wie hier gibt es nur in wenigen andern Ländern und keines hat die Berge derart produktiv gemacht. Die Philosophen der Aufklärung ? sie alle lebten nicht oder nur zweitweise als Flüchtlinge in der Schweiz ? zündeten das Licht vor mehr als 200 Jahren an: Nach ihrer Erfindung der edlen Wilden brachen die Fremden in die Berge auf. Eine spektakuläre Goldgräbergeschichte hatte begonnen, spektakulär, weil das Gold ja nicht im Berg lag, sondern als Spektakel zuerst erfunden, gebaut, eingerichtet, schön geredet und abgebildet werden musst." |

Hello, Leander1! Here is the translation of the second part. If I may say so: The author has an interesting way of using metaphors... "However, Swiss design distinguished itself in respect of one particular theme: The mountain. So many mountains in such a small area can be found in only few other countries, and none of them has made the mountains equally productive. The philosophers of the Age of Enlightenment ? they all lived never or only temporarily, as refugees, in Switzerland ? ignited the flame more than 200 years ago: After they had invented the Noble Savages, foreigners started for the mountains. A spectacular tale of gold-diggers had begun; spectacular, because the gold wasn't buried in the mountains, but had to be invented as a spectacle. It had to be built, arranged, advertised and displayed in pictures." Best regards, Scriptor |
