South Korea Bok
<p>Eighty years ago, at the end of a devastating fratricidal war, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world, completely dependent on the United States for security and development. Today it's the tenth economy in the world, dynamic and innovative, a lively and participatory democracy that sits at the table of the great powers. "Hallyu" - the Korean wave of contemporary entertainment - has reached every corner of the world. This rapid, astonishing transformation inevitably brought with it rifts and contradictions. If global youth look at Korea as previous generations looked at Hollywood and New York, young Koreans, on the other hand, view it as "Hell Joseon": an aging country, an economic system dominated by powerful families, with a fiercely competitive education system, a wide generational gap, and, at the centre of it all, the role of women - one of the keys that The Passenger has chosen to decipher a complex, fascinating country, central to the dynamics of the contemporary world, very often exoticized and idealized in equal measure.</p> <p>IN THIS VOLUME: <em>Hell Joseon</em> by Elisa Shua Dusapin *<em> The View from the North</em> by Lee Hyeonseo * <em>Lessons in Democracy</em> by Jiyoung Choi * plus: the Samsung Republic and the most militarized border in the world, the real reason why Korean women don't have children, democracy and K-pop, baseball, esports, and shamanism, and much more...</p>

Naples Bok
<p>In recent years, Naples has been the subject of countless books, films and TV series, making it even more difficult to imagine a Neapolitan normality, if it exists at all. As Naples becomes the most filmed city in Italy, where to look for the ordinary, the average? Maybe we need to "go up" to Vomero, a neighborhood considered almost alien to the city, middle class, homogeneous, peaceful? A reality in sharp contrast with the over-the-top life of the historic centre, crossed as it is by a thousand stratifications - architectural, historical and social. And yet even there we find an alternative reading: the city as a model of coexistence between ancient and modern. </p> <p>While some areas have been waiting for decades for much promised redevelopment, others have benefited from cutting-edge projects with far-reaching positive impact, representing a Naples that attracts talent, exports models, colonizes instead of being colonized. </p> <p>IN THIS VOLUME: Paolo Macry on Naples' "monarch mayors" Francesco Abazia on the influence of the US Army's presence on Neapolitan popular music Cristina Napolitano on the Neapolitan diaspora, and what it means to come back Gianni Montieri on the city's passion for football Alessandra Coppola on the cult of the young victims of the Camorra, or the police, and much more...</p>
