Dell'andare in treno e altre coincidenze

12 great writers for 12 different ways of experiencing train travel, 12 beautifully illustrated tables. A book for commuters, long-haul passengers, window dreamers and collectors. Between the pages we travel on a phantasmagorical train of the future thanks to an unpublished work by HG Wells, but also on the slow carriages that take Gozzano to explore India, causing him to lose his luggage and encounter adventures. For Proust, the train was a way to immerse himself in the gentle French countryside, while the more prosaic Mark Twain crossed France focusing on the comforts of the vehicle (or their lack). And there is also Virginia Woolf, who cannot help but imagine the lives of her traveling companions, Pirandello who with the train whistle offers freedom to those who cannot travel, the carriages transformed into places of mystery and crime for Arthur Conan Doyle, Grazia Deledda intent on crossing her enchanted Sardinia... and many others. With the stories of Arthur Conan Doyle, Grazia Deledda, Dino Garrone, Guido Gozzano, Luigi Pirandello, Marcel Proust, Matilde Serao, Italo Svevo, Mark Twain, HG Wells, Virginia Woolf, Luciano Zuccoli.
