(Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook). This is a perfect gift for any music maker who loves Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Though many fans first discover them via their well-known Christmas-themed albums and concerts, these rock opera masters also produce plenty of non-seasonal works. Night Castle is one such masterpiece: an ambitious, long form epic that tells an engaging fantasy tale amid a score that features TSO's signature neo-classical art rock at its very best. Instrumental virtuosity and brilliant writing are demonstrated throughout, including plenty of pianistic music that naturally begs to be played by any fan who dabbles with the piano, even if only casually. This complete 240-page score features spiral binding that lays flat on the piano music stand, and includes the comprehensive story text and piano sheet music for every song on the album. Complete melody lines and lyrics are included, along with basic guitar chord grids.

No railway journey on Earth can equal the Trans-Siberian between Moscow and Vladivostok. It is not just its vast length and the great variety of the lands and climes through which it passes. It is not just its history as the line that linked the huge territories which are Russia together. It is a dream which calls countless travellers to the adventure of the longest railway in the world. From the birth aboard of Rudolf Nureyev to the childhood obsession with the railway of Lesley Blanch, to the weariness that eventually overcame Paul Theroux, to the excitement of the author s own journey, this revised and updated collection of travellers accounts brings together emotions, descriptions and humour from a century of travel. This new edition of a classic anthology takes us through the tremendous achievement of the railway s construction across harsh, unsettled lands through the earliest journeys of Western travellers and the trains on which they travelled, and their descriptions of fellow travellers, food, scenery, domestic arrangements, adventures on and off the train, convicts, revolution and war as the train carried them through a lonely, lovely landscape. The barrier of Lake Baikal was crossed by a British-built ice-breaker, put together on the lakeside, until the link around the deep water and through the first tunnels of the route, was completed. The railway played and still plays a huge part in holding this vast country together. The necessary preparations and each section of the journey are described by travellers as famed as Sir Brian Horrocks, Peter Fleming, Noel Barber, Laurens van der Post, Eric Newby, Bob Geldof and many others, now less known. Their accounts are drawn together from a treasury of long out-of-print books so past journeys can bring today s travellers a vast kaleidoscope of experience of a great journey to be enjoyed as you travel along the line or simply contemplate the adventure.

American cancer specialist, Dr. Alex Cousins is on a covert mission to the USSR. He is tasked with prolonging the life of Soviet Politburo Chief, Viktor Moiseyevich Dimitrov, who is suffering from advance stage leukemia. But the tenuous confidence between the unlikely cohorts is shattered one night as Alex accidentally discovers Dimitrov's diabolical plans of a nuclear strike on China. Alex soon finds himself dispatched, homeward bound on a 6000 mile journey aboard the Trans-Siberian Express; long enough, Alex realizes, to silence him from alerting the U.S. of the imminent destruction. Reluctant, at first, to embark upon the journey, Alex is beckoned into the Siberian expanse by the haunting memories of his grandfather, Aleksandr Kuznetzov, who wove tales of magic andmystery breathing an ethereal life into this seemingly desolate place. As the train lumbers east across snow-cloaked mountains, glimmering past the forest glow, a watchful eye rests on the American doctor. Surrounding him are people beaten and broken by life, each drawn to this emperor of trains in search of a brighter future. Most curious is Anna Petrovna Valentinova, the gorgeous history professor, and Alex's alluring traveling companion.A train attendant yearns for love, a deformed man seeks revenge on an old enemy, and a persecuted Jewish couple runs to a new home as the Trans-Siberian Express roars onward through a cavern of hopes and memories, coloring its tracks with tales of love, loss and nuclear intrigue from one end of Russia to the other. An epic journey across a land and a people that Winston Churchill declared, "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."

Russian inspectors Karpo and Zelach follow leads in the disappearance of an anti-Semitic rock star that lead them into the seedy, post-punk Moscow underground, while Chief Inspector Rostnikov heads for Vladivostok aboard the Trans-Siberian Express to find an extortionist who may possess information that could bring down the Russian government. 25,000 first printing.

First full-scale history of the Trans-Siberian Railroad up to the time of the Russian Revolution. The author details the motives for construction of the Trans-Siberian, analyzes the governmental and public debate, and chronicles the bureaucratic infighting that plagued the project for years. After covering the activities of the Committee of the Siberian Railroad in stimulating the settlement of Siberia, he examines the railroad's construction, operation, management and impact. He explores the role of the vast Siberian frontier in Russian history and reassesses the methods and accomplishments of Sergei Witte, the Russian statesman most responsible for the railroad. Throughout, the author compares the railroad with similar projects in Europe and America in order to place the subject in its proper context. Illustrated with black and white photos. 240 pages with index.

Part of the drive towards industrialization promoted by Sergei Witte, Minister of Finances under Alexander III and Nicholas II, the trans-Siberian railway was the most powerful statement of Russia's intention to become a major industrial power, and was a turning point in the colonization of her eastern lands. Marks relates the debates about the railway's construction, analyzes the government's motives for committing its resources to so vast a project, and examines the railway's economic consequences for the colonization and economic development of Siberia.

To the Edge of the World is an adventure in travel full of extraordinary personalities, more than a century of explosive political, economic, and cultural events, and almost inconceivable feats of engineering. Christian Wolmar passionately recounts the improbable origins of the Trans-Siberian railroad, the vital artery for Russian expansion that spans almost 6,000 miles and seven time zones from Moscow to Vladivostok. The world's longest train route took a decade to build in the face of punishing climates, rampant disease, scarcity of funds and materials, and widespread corruption.The line sprawls over a treacherous landmass that was previously populated only by disparate tribes and convicts serving out their terms in labor camps where men were regularly starved, tortured, or mutilated for minor offenses. Once built, it led to the establishment of new cities and transformed the region's history. Exceeding all expectations, it became, according to Wolmar, the best thing that ever happened to Siberia.”It was not all good news, however. The railroad was the cause of the 1904 1905 Russo-Japanese War, and played a vital and at times bloody role in the Russian Revolution and the subsequent Civil War. More positively, the Russians were able to resist the Nazi invasion during the Second World War as new routes enabled whole industries to be sent east. Siberia, previously a lost and distant region, became an inextricable part of Russia's cultural identity. And what began as one meandering, single-track line is now, arguably, the world's most important railroad.

Excerpt from Roughing It in Siberia: With Some Account of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the Gold-Mining Industry of Asiatic RussiaWe were rounding curves, sharp ones too, on a badly ballasted track, that caused the heavy Russian cars to oscillate alarmingly, notwithstanding the crawl at which we were proceeding. The views to be obtained from the carriage windows were superb, in spite Of the wintry aspect which everything bore. It was January - time of deep snow, frozen rivers, and biting atmosphere - everything around (except the interior of the car) was wintry to the last degree. Snow piled up in.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This is a compelling narrative of a long train journey and an illuminating insight from the shadows of the past, descending from the mountains, the unbroken silence of the forest, intertwined with the people who shaped historical events along the route. From the former Tsarist Russian capital of St. Petersburg, this 10,000 kilometre railway odyssey terminates in the great metropolis of Shanghai. Allowing for stop-overs in Moscow and Irkutsk, this journey will take me along the world's longest railway line, itself an extraordinary achievement by the thousands of men who carved this track through a hostile environment, using only the technology of the 19th century. Things may come and things may go, but the Trans-Siberian rolls on forever. After the endless Siberian taiga, the journey continues along the majestic southernmost shore of Lake Baikal, the blue eye of Siberia to Ulaan Baatar, capital of Mongolia. Then through the wilderness of the Gobi Desert and up to the Great Wall of China at Beijing. From the current Chinese capital, it is then on to Xi'an, the ancient capital to see Emperor Qin's mighty terracotta army, before finally reaching Shanghai.
