by Robert Byron (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Robert Byron's 'The Station' is a gripping exploration of the human condition through the lens of a train station. Written in a stream-of-consciousness style reminiscent of modernist literature, the novel delves into the lives of various characters passing through the station, revealing their inner thoughts, desires, and fears. Set against the backdrop of a bustling railway hub, the novel captures the frenetic energy and unpredictability of urban life, making it a compelling read for fans of experimental fiction and social commentary. With vivid descriptions and vivid characterizations, Byron skillfully weaves a tapestry of interconnected stories that provide a thought-provoking look at the complexities of human existence. Robert Byron, known for his travel writing and keen observations of the world around him, brings his unique perspective to 'The Station'. Drawing on his experiences of journeying through different countries and cultures, he offers a nuanced portrayal of the human experience in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. Byron's own fascination with railways and the ways in which they shape people's lives shines through in this captivating novel. I highly recommend 'The Station' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking literature that challenges traditional narrative conventions. Byron's insightful commentary on society and human nature makes this novel a must-read for those who appreciate fiction that pushes boundaries and engages with philosophical themes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hidden society of strong beliefs living in high isolation
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2015

Robert Byron, a superb prose writer embellishes his travel to Mt. Athos in Greece with knowledge and insights into the various monasteries existing at the summit of the mountain. The journey, accompanied by two friends, lays bare the hardships and discipline required by the monks to fulfil their passionate beliefs. The journey took place in 1927 when the author was 22 years old which makes it all the more remarkable.

I can't find the original price on both covers. And then how can I get a discount from it? What an absurd! I can't but feel that the price is expensive with regard to the quality of the book. Nasty trick from the publisher.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book by another precocious British travel writer
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2020
I had read Byron's "The Road to Oxiana" many years ago and vaguely remember being puzzled by the exalted reputation of this writer. But this present title, much more obscure, was recommended by someone whose judgement I respect, so I sought it out, and was glad I did. The information about the monastic life is disjointed, but I ignored that and relished the singular prose. Could hardly put it down. Highly recommended.
