Paul Theroux left Victoria Station on a rainy Saturday in April thinking that taking eight trains across Europe, Eastern Europe, the USSR and Mongolia would be the easy way to get to the Chinese border - the relaxing way, even. He would read a little, take notes, eat regular meals and gaze contentedly out of windows. The reality, of course, was very different. In fact, Theroux experienced a decidedly odd and unexpected trip to China that set the challenging tone for his epic year-long rail journey around that vast, inscrutable land - a journey which involved riding nearly every train in the country. 'Wry, humorful and occasionally querulous...as Theroux makes excruciatingly clear, travelling alone in the Middle Kingdom is not for the faint of heart or stomach' - "Time".

為啥這本我沒標?最近為瞭一件事兒,重新再看保羅索魯的書,80年代的中國在他筆下栩栩如生,還有那種一貫的幽默、刻薄勁兒。可以說是何偉之前以外國人角度寫非虛構中國的第一人瞭。
评分絕對的好書,喜歡Paul筆下的中國
评分There are many subjects and objects, but there are more humans. And it is only due to the excellent writing that objects can become humans. One of the best writings I’ve ever read.
评分沒有讀完,有點太長瞭,但內容很吸引人。從另一個角度看自己。
