Off the Rails: A Train Trip Through Life by Beppe Severgnini
English | February 12th, 2019 | ISBN: 1592408729 | 222 pages | EPUB | 3.45 MB
In this witty and entertaining collection of travel tales, an acclaimed journalist explores his obsession with trains-and what his rail journeys have taught him about culture and identity.
"I’ve gone around the world in installments. Every trip has been a revelation. I’ve watched regions, nations, and continents change moods and I’ve met more people on trains than in forty years of airplane flights. Every train trip has been a spectacle. Trains are stages, cafés, bazaars. The only talk show that will never go off the air."
Beppe Severgnini has spent his life traveling the world, and not just because he’s a journalist; he’s a passionate, unflagging train buff. Off the Rails recounts some of his favorite trips across Europe, Australia, Asia, and the United States, each journey bringing readers not only to a different place but to a different time, from his honeymoon on the Trans-Siberian Express (in a four-person compartment!), to a winding journey from Russia to Turkey during the last summer of communism, to a recent coast-to-coast trip with his son from Washington, D.C., to Washington State.
Off the Rails is the perfect getaway for anyone with a touch of wanderlust, who dreams of escape or just likes to laugh. Filled with memorable characters and perceptive observations, it demonstrates-hilariously-what unites us.
With the world in chaos and life in perpetual fast-forward, it’s always the right time to hop on board with Beppe Severgnini and meet your charming, hapless, quarrelsome, romantic, shifty, quirky, endearing neighbors.
