Beschreibung

Der britische Journalist und Ex-Minister Michael Portillo reist mit der Eisenbahn quer durch Europa. Mit seinem „Bradshaw’s Continental Railway Guide“, einem Reiseführer aus dem Jahr 1913, erkundet er eine Ära des Optimismus, des Aufbruchs, eine Blütezeit der Technik, Wissenschaft und Kunst, die Belle Époque. Er will das verlorengegangene Europa wiederentdecken, das 1913 noch nicht ahnen konnte, dass der Krieg in Kürze alles Altgewohnte hinweg fegen würde.
