Summary:
Le livre est au centre de multiples débats. Le peuple suisse a refusé par référendum une réglementation de son prix. Les diffuseurs sont accusés par la Commission de la concurrence de pratiques cartellaires. La librairie indépendante est menacée par la vente en ligne. L'avènement du numérique bouleverse notre rapport au livre et aux contenus, et fait apparaître de nouveaux acteurs. Pour autant ce territoire situé au carrefour interculturel de l'Europe a aussi connu ses riches heures et de grandes entreprises éditoriales y ont vu le jour, qui ont essaimé largement au-delà de ses frontières. De ce monde en ébullition et souvent méconnu des lecteurs que nous sommes, de ses multiples enjeux aussi, François Vallotton dresse un portrait clair et vivant qui témoigne de la place intime et essentielle que le livre occupe dans la société.
