Plaque for Joseph Conrad in Geneva, Switzerland

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A plaque at 25 Avenue de la Roseraie in the Champel quarter of Geneva commemorating that Polish-British writer Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) stayed in the building four times (1891, 1894, 1895, 1907) for spa treatments. The inscription "GENAVA DESPECTA SUSCIPIENS" ("Geneva is scorned giving shelter") is considered a reply to Conrad's critical views of the Swiss city.

Die Inschrift "GENAVA DESPECTA SUSCIPIENS" ("Genf gewährt Zuflucht und wird geschmäht) gilt als Replik auf Conrads kritische Darstellung der Stadt.
