Every trip has been a revelation. I've watched regions, nations, and continents change moods and I've met more people on trains than in forty years of airplane flights. Every train trip has been a spectacle. Trains are stages, caf駸, bazaars. The only talk show that will never go off the air...\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeppe Severgnini has spent his life traveling the world, and not just because he's a journalist; he's a passionate, unflagging train buff. Off the Rails recounts some of his favorite trips across Europe, Australia, Asia, and the United States, each journey bringing readers not only to a different place but to a different time, from his honeymoon on the Trans-Siberian Express (in a four-person compartment!), to a winding journey from Russia to Turkey during the last summer of communism, to a recent coast-to-coast trip with his son from Washington, D.C., to Washington State. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOff the Rails is the perfect getaway for anyone with a touch of wanderlust, who dreams of escape or just likes to laugh.
