Last train to Zona Verde : my ultimate African safari
Richly detailed and beautifully written prose accentuates the evocative setting in Paul Theroux’s new book, The Last Train to Zona Verde, where the 72 year old highly regarded travel writer packs his bags for one final journey, this time to his beloved Africa and the little known west coast. With a leisurely-paced narrative and characteristic wry, sometimes dark commentary, Theroux again drops readers smack into the middle of his vivid world, to a landscape, as troubling as it is magnificent. Whether he is describing the zona verde (the African bush), a squalor camp, or cityscape, Theroux’s observant sense of place brings the Africa he knows to life.
I just was reading about this book on the collection Blog. I thought it would be a good book to recommend to readers that like Bill Bryson's travel books or readers like Jane Goodall. I'm looking forward to reading it because of the description and cultural information.
