Product Description

A new series from Europa Editions, The Passenger collects the best new writing, photography, art and reportage from around the world.
IN THIS VOLUME: Order and Progress? by Jon Lee AndersonFunk, Pride and Prejudice by Alberto RivaOn the River, I Was King by Eliane BrumAlso: the road that dissects the Amazon; the TV tycoon who shaped Brazilian history; the neo-Pentecostal community that is winning the hearts (and wallets) of Brazilians; politicised samba dancers, idealist gangsters and much more ...
In the second half of the 20th century Brazil made extraordinary contributions to music, sport, architecture. From bossa nova, to acrobatic soccer, to the daring architecture of Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa, the country seemed to embody a new, original vision of modernity, at once fluid, agile, and complex.

Seen from abroad, the victory of the far right in the 2018 elections was a rude awakening that suddenly turned the Brazilian dream into a nightmare. For locals, however, illusions had started fading long ago, amid paralyzing corruption, environmental degradation, racial discrimination, and escalating violence. Luckily Brazilians have not lost their desire to fight, minorities are still determined to assert their rights and, now that the glorious past is dead and buried, a desire to rebuild for the future is emerging. Today the challenge of telling the story of this extraordinary country consists in finding its enduring vitality amid the apparent melancholy.
How can we define the indefinable? Is it possible to pin a single label on a country so multi-faceted that it appears almost schizophrenic?From In Defense Of Fragmentation, Michel Laub

Review

Praise for The Passenger
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 vacationthe kind you can take without braving a long flight in the time of Covid-19.Publishers Weekly

A wonderful publication and a beautiful object. The Passenger is a pleasure to read, to hold, and to look at.La Repubblica
A must-read. Much more than a travel guide, The Passenger is indispensable for any reader who is curious about the world.Il Venerdì
