Description: Montez à bord du célèbre train, l’Orient-Express, en partance pour son premier voyageLe 4 octobre 1883, le train le plus luxueux du monde quittait Paris pour Constantinople. Promis à une destinée mythique, l’Orient-Express emmenait pour ce voyage inaugural les plus grands journalistes européens. Edmond About, futur académicien mais écrivain spirituel, raconte avec esprit cette traversée de l’Europe qui le laisse « ébloui et étourdi ». De Pontoise à Stamboul, 1884.Avec son témoignage Edmond About nous permet de revenir sur un grand symbole du XIXe siècleEXTRAITL’expérience de notre hôtellerie roulante commence au coup de sifflet du départ, et elle intéresse vivement tous ceux d’entre nous qui ont une certaine pratique des chemins de fer. Ainsi, l’on doit nous servir à dîner dans un quart d’heure et nous trouvons le couvert mis avec une intrépidité qui nous étonne. J’ai l’habitude de déjeuner tous les mois dans le train de Paris à Boulogne-sur-Mer, et quoique la Compagnie du Nord ait des voitures admirablement suspendues qui lui coûtent jusqu’à dix-sept et dix-huit mille francs l’une, je sais combien il est malaisé d’y verser et d’y boire un verre de vin sans trinquer avec sa propre chemise. Eh bien ! les serviteurs de la Compagnie Nagelmackers n’ont pas craint de placer devant chacun de nous trois ou quatre verres à pied d’un équilibre fort instable. Il faut que ces braves garçons aient une confiance illimitée dans l’aplomb de leur restaurant, et il nous semble à première vue que les fiches, les cordes tendues, ce qu’on appelle le violon à bord des paquebots, ne seraient pas de trop en cette occurrence. L’événement nous donne tort : rien ne bouge sur ces petites tables si bien servies, tant la construction des voitures a réalisé de progrès depuis quelques années.A PROPOS DE LA COLLECTIONHeureux qui comme… est une collection phare pour les Editions Magellan, avec 10 000 exemplaires vendus chaque année.Publiée en partenariat avec le magazine Géo depuis 2004, elle compte aujourd’hui 92 titres disponibles, et pour bon nombre d’entre eux une deuxième, troisième ou quatrième édition.
