If you love railroads, or are a lover of inter-war popular culture, this is a book for you. It more or less traces how the Venice-Simplon Orient Express train was revived in the early 1980s, both from the standpoint of the cars, and from the standpoint of the fittings and the service. There's lots of loving detail, and a wealth of interesting photographs. I enjoyed it a great deal. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Imbued with an aura of elegance, romance, excitement, and mystery, the Orient Express has long been a symbol of luxury travel in Europe. After its final run in May 1977, a group of investors tracked down and purchased more than thirty old 1920s cars from the train and had them lovingly restored by expert craftsmen. Today, the Venice Simplon Orient-Express transports passengers between London or Dusseldorf and Venice in exquisite art deco surroundings. Lavishly illustrated, this fascinating volume traces the story of this restoration project as well as that of luxury train travel in Europe. The history of each car in the Venice Simplon Orient-Express is detailed, revealing links with politics, royalty, and international intrigue. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
