Excerpt from Good Things for Railway Readers: One Thousand Anecdotes of Convivialists, Wits and Humourists; Oddities and Eccentricities; Strange Occurrences; Lawyers and Doctors; Painters and Players; Politicians and Soldiers; And Men of Letters This has been observed as the rule in the selection and composition of the present Anecdote Library, which, it may be as well here to state, is not borrowed bodily from other Collections of Anecdotes 3 but the incidents or narratives are condensed and in part re-written, mostly from biographical works and historic memoirs, special regard being had to their personal interest. Instead, however, of following the well-beaten track in which Anecdotes have been sought time out of mind, the Compiler and Author of the present Collection has betaken himself to fresh fields and pastures new 3 and has availed himself occasionally of the current journals of the day, so as to give the work more of the interest of the Present than anecdote-books ordinarily possess. Original sources have been turned to account 3 and many of these good things have never before appeared in print Whilst original comments are added to the narratives of others.

ISBN | : 054752515X |
The acclaimed author recounts his epic journey across Europe and Asia in this international bestselling classic of travel literature: “Compulsive reading” (Graham Greene). In 1973, Paul Theroux embarked on a four-month journey by train from the United Kingdom through Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. In The Great Railway Bazaar, he records in vivid detail and penetrating insight the many fascinating incidents, adventures, and encounters of his grand, intercontinental tour. Asia's fabled trains—the Orient Express, the Khyber Pass Local, the Frontier Mail, the Golden Arrow to Kuala Lumpur, the Mandalay Express, the Trans-Siberian Express—are the stars of a journey that takes Theroux on a loop eastbound from London's Victoria Station to Tokyo Central, then back from Japan on the Trans-Siberian. Brimming with Theroux's signature humor and wry observations, this engrossing chronicle is essential reading for both the ardent adventurer and the armchair traveler.
