"The Orient Express, in the collective imagination, embodies the
golden age of travel. The fabrics, the silverware, the woodwork;
their evocative fragrance... all contribute to this particular
atmosphere, created by the best craftsmen of the time. The
experience on board is absolutely unique..." - Sir Kenneth Branagh,
from the foreword The first train to connect Paris to
Constantinople - the gateway to the Orient and epitome of all its
associated desires and fantasies - the Orient Express was an
immediate success. Quickly nicknamed 'the king of trains, the train
of kings', it had already become a legend in its own time. This
unique train and its celebrated passengers (both real and
fictional) have become one of the great cultural icons of our times
and have helped to create a limitless source of stories and
fantasies to feed our imaginations. It's a story told here through
fabulous new photographs of the restoration workshops where the
historic train carriages are being brought back to life, through
archive photos of famous and exotic destinations, and portraits of
the most famous passengers who were lucky enough to climb aboard.
