The old Patagonian express : by train through the Americas / Paul Theroux ; [maps by Richard Sanderson] - London : Penguin Books 1980 - 430pp maps ; 22 cm.
The old Patagonian express tells of Paul Theroux's train journey down the length of North and South America. Beginning on Boston's subway, he depicts a voyage from ice-bound Massachusetts to the arid plateau of Argentina's most southerly tip. Shivering and sweating by turns as the temperature and altitude rise and plummet, he describes the people he encountered - the tedious Mr Thornberry in Limon and reading to the legendary blind writer, Jorge Luis Borges, in Buenos Aires
