Ebook About The acclaimed travel writer chronicles a year of train travel across China in a revealing travelogue that “gives the reader much to relish and think about” (Publishers Weekly).The author of the train travel classics The Great Railway Bazaar and The Old Patagonian Express, takes to the rails once again in this account of his epic journey through China. The always irascible, infectiously curious author “is in top form as he describes the barren deserts of Mongolia and Xinjiang, the ice forests of Manchuria and the dry hills of Tibet. He captures their otherworldly, haunting appearances perfectly. He is also right on target when he talks about the ugliness of China's poorly planned, hastily built cities” (Mark Salzman, The New York Times). Theroux hops aboard a train as part of a tour group in London and sets out for China's border. He then spends a year traversing the country, where he pieces together a fascinating snapshot of a unique moment in history. From sweeping and desolate natural landscapes to the dense metropolises of Shanghai, Beijing, and Canton, Theroux offers an unforgettable portrait of a magnificent land and an extraordinary people.Book Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China Review :
Yes, I am a Paul Theroux fan. And proud of it. I might not want to sit across from him on a train or bus or plane but I can sink back into his travel books and not look up for hundreds of pages. Have I read this before? Yes, of course. Many times. And so should you. He doesn't serve as the press arm for a travel junket so we get the real raw look in through the window. He's hilarious in his insults--but that's not just for China and the Chinese people. He's unbiased in his open dislike of his fellow travelers. Maybe he's changed now--but this book captures his outright loathing and disgust in open glory. (''Everyone hawked, everyone spat, sometimes dribbling, sometimes in a trajectory that ran like candlewax down the side of a spittoon. . . . They walked scuffingly, sort of skating, with their arms flapping, with narrow jogging shoulders, or else hustling puppetlike, with their limbs jerking. They minced, they plodded, they pushed, keeping their hands out - straight-arming their way -and their heads down. They could look entirely graceless -unexpected in Chinese.'')The NY Times said: "Riding the Iron Rooster'' is Mr. Theroux's account of a journey that would drive most people insane." Glad he took and I can read about it. Paul Theroux is a master writer and this observation is a very entertaining read. His journey begins in Europe as he takes the transAsiatic train to an area where he can turn south and pass through Mongolia and eventually into China where the true subject of the book begins; suffice to say the reader is in for a major treat.Theroux passes through the most significant regions of China; his descriptions, particularly of his fellow passengers will delight some and almost anger others. As any readers to Theroux's books know he does not query his verbiage when describing the people in whose country he is passing through. He is at his best when describing the passengers with whom he must share his cabin or his dining room car.The reader cannot but realise that Theroux is confronted frequently by references to the Cultural Revolution and Mao's death throughout the journey in China; both of these tumultuous events had occurred in resent Chinese history. He makes no apologies for his distaste of both; they form a stage curtin for his entire journey.Consequently I found his descriptions of his final destination, Tibet, to be sweet, dare I say when dealing with Teroux's written language virtually beautiful to the extent you might need to return to the passages for a re-read. This Theroux book is worth putting aside, leaving for some years anthem returning; it is that good Read Online Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China Download Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China PDF Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China Mobi Free Reading Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China Download Free Pdf Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China PDF Online Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China Mobi Online Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China Reading Online Riding the Iron Rooster: By Train Through China Read Online Paul Theroux Download Paul Theroux Paul Theroux PDF Paul Theroux Mobi Free Reading Paul Theroux Download Free Pdf Paul Theroux PDF Online Paul Theroux Mobi Online Paul Theroux Reading Online Paul TherouxBest Dragon It Out (Blackhaven Manor Book 3) By Arden Steele
