Night Trains
Author: Andrew Martin
Publisher: Profile Books
ISBN: 1782832122
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
Night trains have long fascinated us with the possibilities of their private sleeping compartments, gilded dining cars, champagne bars and wealthy travellers. Authors from Agatha Christie to Graham Greene have used night trains to tell tales of romance, intrigue and decadence against a rolling background of dramatic landscapes. The reality could often be as thrilling: early British travellers on the Orient Express were advised to carry a revolver (as well as a teapot). In Night Trains, Andrew Martin attempts to relive the golden age of the great European sleeper trains by using their modern-day equivalents. This is no simple matter. The night trains have fallen on hard times, and the services are disappearing one by one. But if the Orient Express experience can only be recreated by taking three separate sleepers, the intriguing characters and exotic atmospheres have survived. Whether the backdrop is 3am at a Turkish customs post, the sun rising over the Riviera, or the constant twilight of a Norwegian summer night, Martin rediscovers the pleasures of a continent connected by rail. By tracing the history of the sleeper trains, he reveals much of the recent history of Europe itself. The original sleepers helped break down national barriers and unify the continent. Martin uncovers modern instances of European unity - and otherwise - as he traverses the continent during 'interesting times', with Brexit looming. Against this tumultuous backdrop, he experiences his own smaller dramas, as he fails to find crucial connecting stations, ponders the mystery of the compartment dog, and becomes embroiled in his very own night train whodunit.

Night Train to Lisbon
Author: Pascal Mercier
Publisher: Open Road + Grove/Atlantic
ISBN: 1555849237
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
The bestselling novel of love and sacrifice under fascist rule, and “a treat for the mind. One of the best books I have read in a long time” (Isabel Allende). Raimund Gregorius, a professor of dead languages at a Swiss secondary school, lives a life governed by routine. Then, an enigmatic Portuguese woman stirs his interest in an obscure, and mind-expanding book of philosophy that opens the possibility of changing Raimund’s existence. That same night, he takes the train to Lisbon to research the book’s phantom author, Amadeu de Prado, a renowned physician whose principles led him to confront Salazar’s dictatorship. Raimund, now obsessed with unlocking the mystery behind the man, is determined to meet all those on whom Prado left an indelible mark. Among them: his eighty-year-old sister, who maintains her brother’s house as if it were a museum; an elderly cleric and torture survivor confined to a nursing home; and Prado’s childhood friend and eventual partner in the Resistance. The closer Raimund comes to the truth of Prado’s life, and eventual fate, an extraordinary tale takes shape amid the labyrinthine memories of Prado’s intimate circle of family and friends, working in utmost secrecy to fight dictatorship, and the betrayals that threaten to expose them. “A meditative, deliberate exploration of loneliness, language and the human condition” (The San Diego Union-Tribune), Night Train to Lisbon “call[s] to mind the magical realism of Jorge Amado or Gabriel Garcia Marquez . . . allusive and thought-provoking, intellectually curious and yet heartbreakingly jaded,” and inexorably propelled by the haunting mystery at its heart (The Providence Journal). Night Train to Lisbon was adapted into Bille August’s award-winning 2013 film starring Jeremy Irons, Lena Olin, Christopher Lee, and Charlotte Rampling.

Book Description
From bestselling author Juliette Sobanet comes a magical and spellbinding novel that will sweep you away to the mystery and glamour of 1950s Paris... Straitlaced marriage therapist Claudia Davis had a plan-and it definitely did not involve getting pregnant from a one-night stand or falling for a gorgeous French actor. She thinks her life can't possibly get more complicated. But when Claudia takes a tumble in her grandmother's San Diego dance studio, she awakens in 1950s Paris in the body of Ruby Kerrigan, the glamorous star of a risqué cabaret-and the number-one suspect in the gruesome murder of a fellow dancer. As past lives go, it's a doozy...especially when an encounter with a handsome and mysterious French doctor ignites a fire in Claudia's sinfully beautiful new body. But time, for all its twists and turns, is not on her side. Claudia has just five days to unmask the true killer, clear Ruby's name, and return to the twenty-first century. To do so, she must make an impossible choice, one that will change the course of both of her lives forever. What Reviewers are saying about Dancing with Paris: "A beautiful love story." "Such a remarkable read!" "It's an ambitious plot, to say the least, and Juliette totally nails it." "There were sparkles, short dresses, and ample cleavage all over the place."
