Krátky popis
In Victorian England the expansion of railways changed history.
Landscapes and cities were transformed and, for the first time,
people travelled for miles at unimaginable speeds. It’s no wonder
that the golden age of steam travel inspired a rich array of short
stories.Classic Railway Stories is part of the Macmillan
Collector’s Library, a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics
bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers.
These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book
lover. Train travel was disruptive, fast and sometimes perilous –
all the ingredients too of a good short story.Strangers and
acquaintances are thrown together and missing their stop is also a
great plot device. Then there are the perils of travelling alone to
somewhere new, possibly in the dark when who knows what crimes and
mysteries might unfold. All these narrative tricks play out in this
diverting collection.In Margaret Oliphant’s moving story, a young
wife escapes her abusive husband when their train leaves without
him. In ‘Holding Up a Train’ O. Henry gives an account of the pros
and cons of being a train robber and Saki wittily describes a
mother’s attempt to control her unruly children.With crime and
mystery from the likes of Arthur Conan Doyle and Maurice le Blanc
there’s so much here to entertain.
