Four titles a year. One country per title. You are The Passenger.
A new series from Europa Editions and Iperborea coming May 2020, The Passenger brings the best new writing, photography, art and reportage from around the world. Featuring long-form essays, investigative journalism, literary reportage, and visual narratives by writers, creators, artists, makers, and innovative thinkers of every ilk, The Passenger is an eclectic mix of what gives the explorer—of the armchair variety or otherwise—myriad ways to truly appreciate the contemporary realities of a country. Taking readers beyond familiar stereotypes, fake news, and superficial mass information, each volume portrays a country’s shifting culture and identity, its public debates, the sensibilities of its people, its burning issues, conflicts, and open wounds. In The Passenger, original commissioned pieces and essential previously published pieces combined with inventive infographics, illustrations, book and film recommendations, a section of “false myths” debunked, a country-specific Spotify playlist, and original photo essays by internationally renowned photographers. Printed on optimum quality paper and beautifully designed, The Passenger is a pleasure to hold and to read, and is suited to display in quality bookstores, high-end retailers, concept stores, museum and upmarket airport bookstores.“Some Japanese stories end violently. Others never end at all, but only cut away, at the moment of extreme cr, to a butterfly, or the wind, or the moon.”—Brian Phillips
Visitors from the West look with amazement, and sometimes concern, at Japan’s monolithic social structures and unique, complex culture industry; the gigantic scale of its tech corporations and the resilience of its traditions; the extraordinary diversity of the subcultures that flourish in its “post-human” megacities. The country nonetheless remains an impossibly complicated jigsaw puzzle whose overall design eludes us. Its inscrutability has made the country an inexhaustible source of inspiration for stories, reflections, and reportage. The subjects in this volume range from the Japanese veneration of the dead to the Tokyo music scene, from urban alienation to cinema, from sumo to machismo. Caught between an ageing population and extreme post-modernity, immobile yet futuristic, Japan is an ideal observation point from which to understand our age and the one to come.
Review Quote
“These books are so rich and engrossing that it is rewarding to read them even when one is stuck at home.”Review Quote
“Few travel guides are confident enough to tell the stories of a destination’s complex realities as well as those of their beauty. [The Passenger] has a strong focus on storytelling, with pages given over to a mix of essays, playlists and sideways glances at subcultures and thorny urban issues.”Review Quote
“Half-magazine, half-book . . . think of [The Passenger] as an erudite and literary travel equivalent to National Geographic, with stunning photography and illustration and fascinating writing about place.”Review Quote
“The Passenger readers will find none of the typical travel guide sections on where to eat or what sights to see. Consider the books, rather, more like a literary vacation--the kind you can take without braving a long flight in the time of Covid-19.”Review Quote
“Fresh and diverting, informative and topical without being slight or ephemeral [...] This supremely well-edited combination of current affairs, journalism, commentary, and fun facts is perfect for our pause-button moment.”Review Quote
“Tremendously eclectic and classily produced . . . each volume gets under the skin of a country or a city in a multifaceted way that feels essential in these times of narrowing national horizons.”Giá sản phẩm trên Tiki đã bao gồm thuế theo luật hiện hành.
