Cultural history from antiquity to the present day.
How did the passport affect art and thinking? How did you change people's self-awareness? With the passion of researcher Patrick Bixby surveys the background, appearance and current status of the passport, taking the reader on a real journey from Egypt to the pharaohs to modern refugee camps. Along the way, he eagerly looks into the passports of famous writers, artists, musicians, directors and politicians: Vladimir Nabokov and Salman Rushdie, Joyce and Marc Chagall, Byron and Gertrude Stein, Lenin and Hannah Arendt, etc. The book is filled with personal stories, conversations about identity, mobility, citizenship and state power, as well as numerous examples from film, literature, painting.
