The Great Railway Bazaar is Paul Theroux's consideration of his epic journey by rail through Asia. Filled with evocative titles of legendary train routes - the Direct-Orient Exhibit, the Khyber Go Local, the Delhi Email from Jaipur, the Golden Arrow to Kuala Lumpur, the Hikari Super Exhibit to Kyoto and the Trans-Siberian Exhibit - it identifies the many places, cultures, sights and noises he experienced and the amazing people he satisfied. Here he overhears snippets of talk and infrequent monologues, and is also drawn into discussion with fellow travellers, from Molesworth, a English theatrical agent, and Sadik, a shabby Turkish tycoon, while avoiding the forceful approaches of pimps and medicine dealers. This wonderfully engaging travelogue pays caring tribute to the loving joys of railways and train travel.
