Today everybody knows what a Rolls Royce is - a car of ultimate quality, reserved for the richest of the rich. Not everybody knows in the Thirties that there existed a French version high class car - the HISPANO SUIZA. The word means "SPAIN-SWITZERLAND", stemming from the two founder's nationality - namely J. Castro, the Spanish entrepreneur and the Swiss engineer Marc Birkigt. From the beginning all cars carried an emblem on the cooler incorporating the Spanish and Swiss Coat of Arms. 1904 Castro and Birkigt formed the company HISPANO SUIZA in Barcelona and produced cars of different sizes which won quickly the reputation of the experts and the nobility who purchased many of their products. It turned out, however, that the French market was much bigger for high class motorcars and consequently a factory was set up in France - near Paris. A turning point in the development of the company was the outbreak of World War I. Birkigt designed quickly a novel water cooled aircraft engine which outperformed subsequently all their competitors, particularly when it comes to endurance. The HISPANO SUIZA engine became a legend and the emblem of one of the most famous French pilots, Georges Guynemer - a flying stork - became the emblem of HISPANO SUIZA. After the war, Birkigt turned back to luxury cars again and created some of the most advanced cars of this time - all ordered individually by the richest of the time, produced fully hand crafted whereby the body of the car was always made by a coach-building company in accordance with the specifications of the customer. Consequently, there are no two identical cars of HISPANO SUIZA in the world. Rolls Royce took over some technical features from HISPANO SUIZA under a licence agreement but never reached the performance of HISPANO SUIZA. H-S was considered to be the top brand among all luxury cars and certainly the most expensive as well.

Existe un consenso extraño y notable en el hecho de que tanto los que admiran la arquitectura suiza como los que no lo hacen puedan utilizar los mismos adjetivos para calificarla: minimalista, inflexible y bien construida. La obra de Burkhalter Sumi trasciende esas características, ya que posee tanta sensualidad como racionalidad, tanta opulencia como rigor, y una ambición arquitectónica atenuada de forma grata por la modestia. Aunque Burkhalter Sumi estén trabajando actualmente en proyectos y problemas de mayor escala que antes, su forma de pensar y trabajar durante 21 años (desde el momento en que fundaron su estudio) manifiesta una coherencia extraordinaria. Tras años de observación, reflexión y siguiendo sencillamente sus gustos personales, estos arquitectos han recopilado un gran número de temas complejos y contradictorios relacionados con la construcción en madera, como son la tectónica, la forma y sus percepción, la prefabricación, el color, la ecología y las estructuras híbridas. Este número de la revista 2G, dedicado a Burkhalter Sumi, recoge una ilustrativa selección de obras recientes del estudio suizo, que incluye proyectos residenciales, trabajos de planificación urbana, proyectos para el trabajo y, finalmente, exposiciones.

When the 1920s' most glamorous lady detective, the Honourable Miss Phryne Fisher, arranges to go to Ballarat for the week, she eschews the excitement of her red Hispano-Suiza racing car for the sedate safety of the train. The last thing she expects is to have to use her trusty Beretta .32 to save lives. As the passengers sleep, they are poisoned with chloroform.Phryne is left to piece together the clues after this restful country sojourn turns into the stuff of nightmares: a young girl who can't remember anything, rumors of white slavery and black magic, and the body of an old woman missing her emerald rings. Then there is the rowing team and the choristers, all deliciously engaging young men. At first they seem like a pleasant diversion....

The Green Hat perfectly reflects the atmosphere of the 1920s—the post-war fashion for verbal smartness, youthful cynicism, and the spirit of rebellion of the "bright young things" of Mayfair. Iris Storm, femme fatale, races around London and Europe in her yellow Hispano-Suiza surrounded by romantic intrigue, but beneath the glamour she is destined to be a tragic heroine. A perfect synecdoche, in fact: as the hat is to the woman, so the words of the title are to an entire literary style. The success of the novel when it was first published in 1924 let to its adaptation for the screen, with Greta Garbo starring as Iris Storm.

El joven heredero filipino Crisóstomo Ibarra, regresa al archipiélago tras unos años de formación en Europa, habiendo pasado algún tiempo en Suiza y en España. La muerte de su padre en la cárcel y las circunstancias de su entierro despertarán en el hijo un sentimiento de odio hacia el omnipotente padre Dámaso que acabarán por acarrear su perdición. Una historia sorprendentemente parecida a la del propio Rizal.

Having established its SPAD VII as the most effective French fighter of 1916, the Societé Pour l'Aviation at ses Dérivés strove to improve the model with a 220hp Hispano Suiza 8B engine and two machine guns. Despite initial teething troubles with the new engine, by mid-1918 the SPAD XIII had taken its place as the principal fighter of both France and the US. Meanwhile, the German quest for a successor for their structurally flawed Albatros D V finally bore fruit with the Fokker D VII. Entering combat in May 1918, this plane earned a reputation as the most formidable fighter of the war, yet the SPAD XIII's greater speed, especially in a dive, and its outstanding durability, proved a fearsome rival. This is the gripping story of two of the best fighters produced in World War I - the SPAD XIII and the Fokker D VII - as they dueled in the skies above the trenches in the closing months of the war. Never before published artwork, including fascinating cockpit illustrations, reveal several dramatic clashes between the two foes while diary entries and first-hand accounts from the pilots bring this classic World War I duel to life with intimate detail.

Travelling at high speed in her beloved Hispano-Suiza accompanied by her maid and trusted companion Dot, her two adoptive daughters Jane and Ruth and their dog Molly, The Hon Miss Phryne Fisher is off to Queenscliff. She'd promised everyone a nice holiday by the sea with absolutely no murders, but when they arrive at their rented accommodation that doesn't seem likely at all. An empty house, a gang of teenage louts, a fisherboy saved, and the mystery of a missing butler and his wife seem to lead inexorably towards a hunt for buried treasure by the sea. But what information might the curious Surrealists be able to contribute? Phryne knows to what depths people will sink for greed but with a glass of champagne in one hand and a pearl-handled Beretta in the other, no one is getting past her.

In the sequel to Once a Hero and Rules of Engagement, as Fleet is threatened by mutiny, class conflict, and power struggles, Esmay Suiza-Serrano finds herself uncermoniously dismissed from Fleet and hurtled into the midst of warfare that threatens all galactic civilization.

Es el relato de un proceso, mi proceso de integración en Suiza. Si, Suiza, un país europeo, sin una cultura exótica, pero que requirió de estrategias de integración muy específicas y complejas, en especial para una sudamericana como yo lo era: espontánea, alegre, explosiva, impuntual, impaciente, menos organizada, flexible, chistosa... ¿Mi error catastrófico? Malentender la palabra integración ¿Las consecuencias? Perder mi identidad. ¿Cómo la encontré? Este libro habla de esto.
