<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this unique and hugely entertaining railway odyssey, Theroux vividly recounts his travels--and the people, places, and landscapes he encountered--on the Orient Express, the Khyber Mail, and the Trans-Siberian Express, through such countries as Turkey, Iran, India, Southeast Asia, Japan, and the Soviet Union.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>First published more than thirty years ago, Paul Theroux's strange, unique, and hugely entertaining railway odyssey has become a modern classic of travel literature. Here Theroux recounts his early adventures on an unusual grand continental tour. 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 him on a loop eastbound from London's Victoria Station to Tokyo Central, then back from Japan on the Trans-Siberian. Brimming with Theroux's signature humor and wry observations, this engrossing chronicle is essential reading for both the ardent adventurer and the armchair traveler.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>It's as if Graham Greene and Joseph Conrad decided to rewrite Baedeker's guides to Asia...[a] great read."--<i>Newsweek </i> <p/><i>"</i>Wonderful...full of zest and adventure."--<i>Washington Post</i> <p/> "A travel book of the first magnitude."--<i>Business Week</i> <br><br>
