INTER-RAILING There are only so many hours you can waste gazing at the alpine peaks, villages that resemble Hogsmeade and old men eternally playing backgammon that whistle past your train window before Europe starts to become a little boring. To combat this Vision suggests the reams of Thrillers that employ Europe’s landmarks as secondary characters. With Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons tucked under your arm you might actually see a Rome that doesn’t merely consist of St Peter’s, the Parthenon and the Coliseum whilst Henry Porter’s Brandenbrug Gate will have you suspecting every second Berliner of dastardly Stasi-inspired plots. Become an expert in your chosen historical period without exhausting too many brain cells by reading the kind of books that claim to be ‘meticulously researched’ and ‘convincing portrayal’ in embossed gold. C.J.Sansom’s Madrid in Winter should have you informing the veteran Republican in seat 14A why Franco wasn’t all bad in your terrible LFA Spanish. For a novel that won’t result in your being attacked by an incensed Spaniard with a disarmingly sharp Chorizo, Daphne de Maurier’s The Glass-Blowers has the added advantage that all the participants of the French Revolution are now dead. Less dense than Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables it’s also unlikely to have you conducting the carriage through a rendition of La Marseillaise.
