From its very first contact with the West, India has been subject to great mystification. India' s long history, the survival of ancient rituals, and its variety of languages and cultures, continues to fascinate. This narrative is intertwined with a newer one that sees the frenetic change of a society at the forefront of innovation. Success stories coexist alongside stories of daily struggle. A large slice of the population still does not have access to drinking water, and agriculture (still the main source of livelihood for most of the 1. 3 billion people who live there) is threatened by climate change. India is a country that does not know how to eradicate one of the most infamous forms of classism/racism: the caste system. From the resistance of the Kashmiri people to that of atheists - hated by all religious communities - from the dances of the ' hijra' in Koovagam to the success of the female wrestler Vinesh Phogat, learn about the contradictory, terrible and joyful chaos that lies at the heart of India.

"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. "--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 Venerdi"A true delight for lovers of reading and travel. "--El Pais
