The Orient evokes a bygone golden age, which is hardly tangible in today's fast-paced world. It was good to read about it, I hope to travel with it one day. 😀

Great ready. The story of the original orient express from 1883 to 1950. If you are at all interested in the subject this is a great book. It's not written like a text book and just flows well. Very interesting.

Simply an excellent and nostalgic read!
