The Swede Who Took the Train and Travelled Around the World

Per J. Andersson

For a long time, the train was seen as the most progressive means of transport in the world, until people switched en masse to flying and driving. In the shadow of the global climate crisis, however, we are going to have to question our transport habits and go back to travelling by train, even for longer journeys. In his new book, bestselling Swedish author Per J. Andersson shows why travelling by train is not only good for the environment but is also a sensory experience that can open up completely new horizons to us.

Andersson takes us on the most beautiful and intrepid train journeys in the world, climbing aboard the icy Polar Express and the legendary Orient Express, bringing the Trans-Siberian Railway to life, discovering different parts of the world such as America, China and Sri Lanka by train, and stopping in Leipzig at the biggest terminus station in the world. As countless familiar and unfamiliar places roll past him as if in a dream, he meets a series of illustrious figures with incredible stories to tell. Andersson’s new book is a travelogue and a manifesto for train travel all in one. After reading it there’ll be no doubt in your mind: train is the best way to travel!
