Paul Theroux left Victoria Station on a rainy Saturday in April thinking that taking eight trains across Europe, Eastern Europe, the USSR and Mongolia would be the easy way to get to the Chinese border - the relaxing way, even. He would read a little, take notes, eat regular meals and gaze contentedly out of windows. The reality, of course, was very different. In fact, Theroux experienced a decidedly odd and unexpected trip to China that set the challenging tone for his epic year-long rail journey around that vast, inscrutable land - a journey which involved riding nearly every train in the country. 'Wry, humorful and occasionally querulous...as Theroux makes excruciatingly clear, travelling alone in the Middle Kingdom is not for the faint of heart or stomach' - "Time".

絕對的好書,喜歡Paul筆下的中國
評分看到後麵就不太喜歡,作者賣弄點知識嘲笑點中國人,到處跟人談文化大革命,就想找齣來中國人沒主見傻乎乎毛很差勁的觀點,然後站在自己高於普通遊客(確實不一樣,有錢!)的立場上同情西藏,搞得他有多麼懂一樣,中國人世俗得很,白皮人也虛僞得很呢;作者一直強調86年的中國思潮是修修補補又三年,工人胳膊被機器吃掉,誇耀的是事後把胳膊縫迴去而不是加強保護。然後又講瞭類似的男性生殖器重建手術,類似增高療法,修修補補還能用,就是看著真疼????

評分就也還將就,沒有什麼特彆eye-opening 的點,而且一副居高臨下的姿態。86年畢竟是遙遠的過去瞭
