The Last Train to Zona Verde: Overland from Cape Town to Angola

For all Theroux travel writing fans and particularly the legions of lovers of Dark Star Safari and Eastern Star.

Acclaimed travel writer Paul Theroux resumes the African trip recounted in his brilliant Dark Star Safari, from Cairo to Capetown down the right-hand of Africa. For ten years he longed to return Capetown, and travel up the the left-hand side to Congo. After 50 years of travel and past retirement age, this is the last trip of this kind the author will take, and this is the story his fans have been waiting for.
