A classic "road" book covering areas now extremely dangerous to travel through. A must for armchair travelers.

The Direct-Orient Express, they Khyber Pass Local, the Delhi Mail from Jaipur, the Golden Arrow to Kuala Lumpur and the Trans-Siberian Express-only a few of the evocative names that fill this, the story of Paul Theroux's epic journey by rail through India and Asia. This is Thoroux at his best. Very good reading.
