The Istambul Train

Set on the Orient Express train, which traveled from Ostend, Belgium, to Istanbul, Turkey, it features several characters whose destinies intertwine, each bearing their own burden of torment: race, sexual frustration, political failure, poverty. Among them are Carlston Myatt, a Jewish businessman, and Dr. Czinner, a Slavic politician who escaped a death sentence five years earlier and is intent on returning to Belgrade.
