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
評分絕對的好書,喜歡Paul筆下的中國
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
評分沒有讀完,有點太長瞭,但內容很吸引人。從另一個角度看自己。
