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.
