The book explores the struggle of alpine villages in Canton Graubunden, Switzerland, as they confront the decline of communal life in an increasingly industrialized and urbanized society. It delves into the historical roots of communal liberty, detailing the villages' thousand-year fight to preserve their traditions against external pressures, including feudal hierarchies and broader European political forces. Through this narrative, it highlights the tension between local customs and the demands of modernity.
