A NIGHT ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
Book ID/图书代码: 06580012B59033
English Summary/英文概要: It’s a frosty night in November as a group of passengers climb aboard the Orient Express for the journey of a lifetime from London to Venice. As they settle into the luxury of their cabins and take their first sips of champagne, they all have different hopes and expectations.
Some have waited a lifetime for the experience, for others, it is a surprise; for many, a celebration. One thing is certain, the journey won’t be uneventful.
As they share lunch, afternoon tea, cocktails and dinner to the tinkling of the grand piano, there are revelations, confessions and assignations. As the train sweeps on, stories unfold against the most romantic and infamous setting in the world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 十一月里一个雾蒙蒙的夜晚,一群乘客爬上了一辆从伦敦开往威尼斯的东方快车,并打算开始一段令他们毕生难忘的精彩旅程。尤其是当他们住进豪华的船舱里,啜饮着生平初次的香槟时,每个人心中都满怀着各自的希冀与期待。
对其中的有些人而言,他们等待了一生,或许只为这次独特的经历;而对另一些人而言,这次旅程是一场意外的惊喜;当然,对于多数人而言,这是一次庆典,一次狂欢。唯一可以确定的,便是这绝非一场寻常的旅程。
他们在一起享用午餐、下午茶、鸡尾酒、晚餐,甚至在巨大的钢琴前切磋技艺,这过程中,有启示,有忏悔,亦有情人间的幽会。当列车徐徐前进,种种故事亦在这充斥着极度浪漫与罪恶的背景下缓缓拉开帷幕。(DC)
