Greene, Graham : Stamboul Train
- description
- additional information
The journey to Istanbul by train has a venerable and generally murderous literary history: as Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express, Graham Greene’s Stamboul Train, Ian Fleming’s From Russia With Love found their way on to the bookshelves they also chugged into the subconscious. While the Orient Express covered the route with a thick layer of glamour and romance these novels added a frisson of danger. They ensured that emerging from a sleeper car in the Sirkeci station, the pink faux-palace on the edge of the Golden Horn that marks the end of the line, is still the most evocative way to arrive in the most evocative of destinations.
