The Passenger is also available in English, through a partnership with Europa Editions, in Spanish, through GeoPlaneta, and in Portuguese, through Âyiné Editora. What THE PASSENGER wants to answer is why.
There is no lack of guides, magazines, websites and apps that focus on the where, how and when of a destination. įor this reason, THE PASSENGER can also be read as a one-of-a-kind « travel guide », which does not replace the traditional ones, but complements them, and has, above all, a unique quality, not just in Italy but also internationally. After over thirty years spent exploring the North, like Odin’s crows, Iperborea now opens to the rest of the world, travelling far and wide to search for and publish the best of the « geographic » long form, remaining faithful to the criteria that inform its editorial line: relevance of themes, quality of writing, as well as permanence, shunning current events to focus on the present, to offer an understanding of what is contemporary rather than what is merely recent. THE PASSENGER is a project of the Italian publishing house, Iperborea, which specialise s in Northern European literature. In Norse language Huginn means « thought », while Muninn « memory ». Odin sends them out at dawn to gather intelligence and they return in the evening, sit on the shoulders of the god and whisper what they saw in to his ears. The logo is a reference to Huginn and Muninn, two crows of the Norse mythology, associated with the god Odin, that travel the world bringing news and information back to their master. In addition, in collaboration with the photography agency Prospekt, each issue features original, commissioned photographs by an international photographer sent to the country to document the most significant stories.
