On The Slow Train
Twelve Great British Railway Journeys

Ủng hộ

Bìa của Michael Williams: On The Slow Train (ePUB)

”A trip back in time” DAILY TELEGRAPH
A love of railways, a love of history, a love of nostalgia.
______________________________
Get ready to board the slow train to another era, to a time when travel meant more than hurrying from one place to the next. On the Slow Train will reconnect you with that long-missed need for escape, and reminds us to lift our heads from the daily grind and remember that there are still places in Britain where we can take the time to stop and stare.
This book is a paean to another age: before milk churns, train porters and cats on seats were replaced by security announcements and Burger King wrappers. These 12 spectacular journeys will help free us from what Baudelaire denounced as ”the horrible burden of time.”
