You want the dream, you want to finger the historicity of the Eastern Express glamor, this is a book that is not for you. Rarely have I read such a poor exhibition catalog of rare and complacency so poor in beautiful iconography. (No picture of the wagons, is a matter of rights and copyright?) And then damage no one has dared take the papers of the ladies and gentlemen, because apart evoke length of pages the Orient Express has built a bridge between East and West (a college student might well have said ) and Nagelmackers was originally the project ..... It is well known that these works are sold in mass enter some finances in the pot, but why not take the trouble to make a beautiful booklet, quality that every visitor can take a write up to what might have been, would have been the exhibition. Like many, I had set the bar high before arriving in the square of The Ima, but already 7 minutes watch in hand, to visit the cars, a reconstitution inside worthy of a local flea market "is never seen such rubbish on tables, and so-called icing on the cake in the last compartment: a poor evocation of the scene of Agatha Christie, also a famous skit of an old provincial museum is what knows to entrust the design at schoolboys in short the dream in this world made without grace or elegance, could not take shape and I .............. 'forget the very pretty car invisitable restaurant as closed to the public due to evening dinner, it does not mix the beggars, pay little and silver sores. (anyway that's enough to see what is given to small fee which will certainly not have the opportunity of his life to take the Orient Express travel, so what complains -t'il ....) Well done, well done Mr former minister culture, at least, you were able to restore the concept of social class. And I really did not understand the importance of very annoyed "guide" (guide or leader of the flock toward the exit, I hesitate ...) that was struggling to talk about the acquisition by the group A - -R the Orient Express company, must thank the sponsors ..; but hey, there, yes definitely more poetry to evoke the financial groups and other Belmond rather than the authors of novels ....... ...... And the SNCF in all this damage, "owner of the heritage of the legendary train" pity she is able to roll that 2 or 3 luxury cars on the only court of the cities ...
As you can no doubt, I was a tad disappointed. An oriental dream ends, really.
