A collection of imaginative stories that will make think, you laugh or make you cry. Inspired by train travel, they will take you on a journey with through landscapes as diverse as Switzerland, Australia, Cuba, India, Russia, South America, Rome and Paris...and to intimate connections with your heart and mind.This book was conceived on a busy weekday morning when the author was on a train: a fellow traveller was turning the page of a broadsheet newspaper accidentally struck the person sitting beside him in the face.It was soon apparent that other travellers were reading equally dangerous material: books as heavy as house bricks; magazines with inserts that would fall to the floor; large hardcover books with corners as sharp as knives; complex epics that never allow the reader to "find his place" before it's time to get off...Each story is your ticket to a different view of the world.Train traveller or not, this book is inspired reading.
