Description

Riding the Iron Rooster By Train Through China is a travelogue that recounts Paul Theroux's eight-train journey from Europe to China. The author's initial plan was a relaxing trip, but reality proved vastly different. Theroux experienced an unexpected and challenging journey, riding nearly every train in China. His account is wry, humorous, and occasionally critical of the difficulties faced by solo travellers in the country. This book offers a candid and entertaining portrayal of Theroux's experiences on his epic rail journey through China.
