Book Description: Penguin Books Ltd, United Kingdom, 1996. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 198 x 129 mm. Brand New Book. Award-winning travel writer Paul Theroux invites you aboard "The Old Patagonian Express by Train through the Americas"; packed with powerful descriptions and portraits of the many colours of humanity, "The Old Patagonian Express" is an unforgettable read. A witty sharply observed journey down the length of North and South America. Beginning his journey in Boston, where he boarded the subway commuter train, and catching trains of all kinds on the way, Paul Theroux tells of his voyage from ice-bound Massachusetts and Illinois to the arid plateau of Argentina's most southerly tip. Sweating and shivering by turns as the temperature and altitude shoot up and down, thrown in with the appalling Mr Thornberry in Limon and reading nightly to the blind writer, Borges, in Buenos Aires, Theroux vividly evokes the contrasts of a journey 'to the end of the line'. "Fascinating, beautifully written .a vivid travelogue described with the sensitive, richly observant pen of a born writer". ("Sunday Express"). "This is travel writing at its most accomplished .even the bored are funny and human, and the description of homeless children is painfully unforgettable". ("Sunday Telegraph").American travel writer Paul Theroux is known for the rich descriptions of people and places that is often streaked with his distinctive sense of irony; his other non-fiction titles, "Riding the Iron Rooster", "The Happy Isles of Oceania", "Sunrise with Seamonsters", "The Kingdom by the Sea", "The Tao of Travel", "Ghost Train to the Eastern Star", "The Great Railway Bazaar", "Dark Star Safari", "Fresh-air Fiend", "Sir Vidia's Shadow", "The Pillars of Hercules", and his novels and collections of short stories, including the James Tait Black Memorial Prize winner "The Mosquito Coast" are available from Penguin.
