Gleise, die die Welt bedeuten

A train journey is rarely the fastest, but often the most beautiful connection between two places. This book tells the story of how landscapes pass by the window and strangers in the compartment become allies. The editor of this inspiring anthology is Jaroslav Rudiš, bestselling author, train expert, and passionate railway enthusiast. Rudiš gathers here the most captivating train travel stories from the Malik writing competition for the Day of Rail. Whether on a slow train through Italy or a regional train through Germany, on a modern express train through Kenya, or on a heritage line through the USA – these stories speak of departure and arrival and how every journey transforms us into different people. The perfect gift for anyone who loves to explore the world in sync with the tracks.
