Summary "Geneva" by Francis Henry Gribble is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the rich history of the city of Geneva, delving into notable events such as the Reformation, the Wars of Independence, and the significant figures who shaped its destiny, including John Calvin and Théodore de Bèze. The narrative seeks to paint a vivid picture of old Geneva's social and political dynamics, providing insights into its transformation over the centuries. At the start, the book presents a description of modern Geneva, emphasizing how its rapid expansion has obscured its historical identity. The author reflects on the remnants of the old city, highlighting key landmarks like the cathedral and Town Hall, while reminiscing about the bustling, lively streets filled with citizens and a mix of cultural influences. The opening chapter sets the tone for a deeper exploration of the city's past, as Gribble mentions the significant sociopolitical changes brought on by the Reformation and the independence struggles, setting the stage for the subsequent chapters that will explore the broader historical events and characters that contributed to Geneva's unique character.
