Summary

Uno de los libros de viajes más aclamados del siglo xx, recuento de un memorable periplo por todo el continente americano

En este libro pionero de 1979, Paul Theroux relata su periplo de seis meses por el continente americano en ferrocarril. La aventura comienza en un tren de cercanías de Boston y acaba cuando un viejo expreso llega a la ciudad de Esquel, en plena Patagonia argentina. Entremedias, el autor cruza México, se interna en América Central, visita Machu Picchu o se toma unos días de descanso en Buenos Aires en compañía de Jorge Luis Borges. Sin embargo, su relato nunca cae en el pintoresquismo, sino que logra evocar un fascinante fresco cultural con observaciones memorables y fina ironía.

Más de cuarenta años después de su publicación, El viejo expreso de la Patagonia es también un documento de primer orden sobre la historia convulsa de un continente.

La crítica ha dicho:
«Uno de los libros de viaje más cautivadores que se han escrito en nuestro tiempo».
Financial Times

«Escritura de viajes al más alto nivel».
The Sunday Telegraph
