About this product

Product Information

The old Patagonian Express was the last train Paul Theroux took in his journey from Boston to Patagonia. Some of the trains were superb, but most were deplorable and the journey was one of contrasts in people, in temperature, in scenery, in altitude, and in attitude. The people, extraordinary, eccentric, replusive, individualistic: the appalling Mr Thornberry, the bogus priest in Cali, and - very different - their blind writer Borges in Buenos Aires.

  • Book good to read

    The book itself is good to read , but I wish I had paid more as the condition of book is worse than I would expect , fragile yellow pages which do not stand much bending whilst reading the book . I have since thrown it away as it looked like a museum piece at least a quarter century old .
