Ghost Train to the Eastern Star

In Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Paul Theroux embarks on a journey reminiscent of his earlier work, The Great Railway Bazaar, as he travels overland from London to the East, exploring Eastern Europe, India, and Asia. Thirty years later, he reflects on the transformations of the landscape and his own evolving perceptions, creating an engaging narrative that weaves together travel, observation, and introspection. This beautifully written sequel offers readers a fresh perspective on familiar routes and experiences.
