The Old Patagonian Express

The Old Patagonian Express: By Train Through the Americas | Paul Theroux

Day 9: #3Books that made me want to travel

▪️The Old Patagonia Express increased my passion for travelling in Latin America in the 90s
▪️In Among the Believers Naipaul‘s travels through non-Arabic Islamic countries and his fascinating experiences made me want to make the exact same journey
▪️Amazing Train Journeys: Since a trip by ‘California Zephyr‘ across the US I am a bit obsessed by travelling by train. This book makes me longing for more.

Ruthiella Train travel is the best. You can actually SEE something! (as opposed to flying). 4y

BarbaraBB @Ruthiella Even better: you can see something AND read 😉💕 4y

(Day 1 - #GetOutTheMap)

*Paul Theroux has traveled the map. This song made me think of all the times Theroux may have gotten out the map. For all of you Theroux addicts out there, he has a new one coming out in October: “On the Plain of Snakes: A Mexican Journey.”
*The images above are representative of the lyrics of the song.

Honduras, Ecuador, and a train ride from Boston to Argentina. I can always count on Theroux for a sometimes amusing, sometimes bitter tour of a new country; fiction and non-fiction. Definitely top five author.

CherylDeFranceschi The Mosquito Coast was one of the most visceral reads. I really felt like I was there with them. An incredible book! 8y

RanaElizabeth @CherylDeFranceschi Yes! Visceral is a good description. Theroux fascinates me as he has such an amazing sense of place and detail. I first fell in love with his travel books and then proceeded to buy everything of his I came across. 8y

CherylDeFranceschi Ha! I did it the opposite way! 8y

Travel with Paul Theroux by train through the Americas, from Boston to Mexico to Colombia to Argentina. The Old Patagonian Express is the perfect book to quench that summer wanderlust. Also comes with excellent maps at the front (our favorite!)
