Book Description
Excerpt from History of the East Indian Railway It is not everyone who realizes what a great undertaking the East Indian Railway is, or what it has done and is doing for the people and the trade of India and particularly of Calcutta. Yet the author hardly ventures to expect that this endeavour, to outline the more important events in its history, will prove attractive to the general reader, or help him to an appreciation of the facts. It is chiefly for those who are or have been associated with or employed on the East Indian Railway that this book has been written, and if these, as well as those who enter its service in the future, find something in its pages to interest them, the writer will be rewarded. The author would only add that in attempting the work he has been prompted by a feeling that unless something was done now, to place on record facts which are so easily forgotten and so soon buried in oblivion, the opportunity would be lost. No one can be more conscious than he is of the many defects and imperfections of his effort, and had anyone else evinced a desire to undertake the task, he would not have set it himself.

Book Description
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.
