The international bestselling author records his many insights and
adventures traversing the world by train in these 3 classic travel
memoirs. The Great Railway Bazaar In 1973, Paul Theroux embarked on
his now-legendary journey from the United Kingdom through Europe, the
Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Asia's fabled trains—the Orient
Express, the Khyber Pass Local, the Frontier Mail, the Golden Arrow to
Kuala Lumpur, the Mandalay Express, the Trans-Siberian Express—are
the stars of a journey that takes Theroux on a loop eastbound from
London's Victoria Station to Tokyo Central, then back from Japan on
the Trans-Siberian. The Old Patagonia Express Starting with a
rush-hour subway ride to South Station in Boston to catch the Lake
Shore Limited to Chicago, Paul Theroux takes a grand railway adventure
first across the United States and then south through Mexico, Central
America, and across the Andes until he winds up on the meandering Old
Patagonian Express steam engine. Ghost Train to the Eastern Star
Thirty years after the epic journey chronicled in The Great Railway
Bazaar, Paul Theroux retraces his 25,000-mile journey to witness and
experience a landscape drastically transformed by the intervening
decades. The Soviet Union has collapsed and China has risen; India
booms while Burma smothers under dictatorship; Vietnam flourishes in
the aftermath of the havoc America was unleashing on it the last time
Theroux passed through.
