Hotel Life
The library is highlighting the works of artists and painters who, over the past 150 years, have been captivated by the unique beauty of this high valley. It is also featuring novels written in the Engadine, inspired by its landscape, or authored by people for whom this region became a place of refuge.
Beyond that, the library offers visitors the chance to explore the rich literature of Grisons women writers, the history of the hotel industry, architecture, and agriculture, as well as the fascinating stories of confectioners who emigrated and returned. Visitors can also delve into the development of Alpine cuisine, the world of Alpine monasteries, and the lives of mercenaries and muleteers whose fates are intertwined with the region’s history.
To avoid losing sight of the broader literary world, the library regularly showcases the latest and most notable works by acclaimed and emerging authors. Additionally, special theme spotlights are frequently featured, highlighting a range of fascinating topics such as “Baths and Spa Therapy in the Alpine Region” or “The Visionary Sports Graphics of Carlo Pellegrini.”
