Theroux, Paul - The Old Patagonian Express - By Train Through the Americas - ( Item 140517 )
Published in London by Folio Society. 2023. First Printing. Fine Hardback. No inscriptions or bookplates. Fine slipcase. With a new introduction by the author. One of the greatest travelogues of the 20th century, Paul Theroux's The Old Patagonian Express is newly presented as a Folio edition featuring an exclusive new introduction by the author and 24 original colour photographs. After boarding a subway train in the blisteringly cold Boston winter of 1978, Paul Theroux outstayed the commuters, the day trippers and interstate visitors to embark on an epic rail journey that would finish 'almost at the end of the world', at the southern tip of Argentina. More than 40 years since its first publication, Theroux revisits his remarkable journey in an exclusive new introduction commissioned for this edition; a reflective and timely return to a different era of travel, and a different traveller. Drawing from an array of photographic collections of the era, we have curated a selection of 24 striking colour photographs that are windows onto this epic train ride – from insalubrious after-dark Nuevo Laredo to the cattle ranches of Argentina. Bound in blocked cloth with paper sides. Typeset in Arno Pro with Station No.5 and Compacta bold display. Frontispiece and 24 pages of colour photographs. Two maps by Kevin Freeborn. 480 pages. Plain slipcase. 9.5 x 6.75. ISBN: None .
