Sinossi
Ghost Train to the Eastern Star di Paul Theroux è un viaggio da Londra all'Asia in treno. Vincitore dello Stanford Dolman Lifetime Contribution to Travel Writing Award 2020 Trent'anni fa Paul Theroux lasciò Londra e viaggiò attraverso l'Asia e ritorno in treno. Il suo resoconto del viaggio, The Great Railway Bazaar, fu un libro epocale e lo rese famoso come il più importante scrittore di viaggi della sua generazione. Ora Theroux ripercorre il viaggio. Attraverso l'Europa orientale, l'India e l'Asia per scoprire i cambiamenti che hanno travolto i continenti e anche per scoprire cosa un vecchio penserà del viaggio di un giovane. Ghost Train to the Eastern Star è una brillante cronaca del cambiamento e un'esplorazione di come il viaggio sia ''il più triste dei piaceri''. ''Un libro abbagliante, che ci racconta gli alti e bassi del suo viaggio, con tenerezza e umorismo pungente.'' compagni di viaggio strambi, tassisti amatoriali, ragazze da bar e gente del posto che soffre da tempo sono riportati vividamente in vita' Spectator 'I fan di Theroux non rimarranno probabilmente delusi. Theroux ha una grande abilità descrittiva. Il mondo è leggermente meno sconosciuto in virtù della lettura del libro' Sunday Telegraph 'Rilassato, curioso, sicuro, sorprendentemente tenero. La scrittura di Theroux ha una qualità immediata, vivida e superficiale che gli conferisce una forza collettiva' Sunday Times 'Un occhio brillante, leggibile e vivido. Theroux ce l'ha ancora' Observer 'Affascinante, una gioia da leggere' Tatler I libri di Paul Theroux includono Dark Star Safari, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Riding the Iron Rooster, The Great Railway Bazaar, The Elephanta Suite, A Dead Hand, The Tao of Travel e The Lower River. The Mosquito Coast e Dr Slaughter sono stati entrambi trasformati in film di successo. Paul Theroux divide il suo tempo tra Cape Cod e le isole Hawaii.
