The Orient Express
This book carries the reader along on of the most fabled trips in the world: the glamorous 1800 mile trip from Paris to Istanbul.
In the heyday of the orient Express, a ticket was the passport to a moving insulated ambiance of supreme luxury. As the train chuffed its majestic way across Europe, those aboard found themselves cocooned in opulence: plush drawing rooms and velvety boudoirs, lavish meals and heady wines. There was the music of a Viennese Orchestra, the company of couriers and kings. And always the slightly fearful hope of onlookers that the Sultry Lady aboard was a Mata Hari there to decoy a diplomat and lure secrets from him.
