This essay takes the opposite view of the one upheld by popular beliefs about the Orient Express. It reconsiders the way in which the train has been described, perceived and imagined, and endeavours to measure the gap between the commonly accepted ideas and what transpires from a very diverse body of texts examined along three lines of thought: featured itineraries, debates on the train and its passengers, literary accounts, and the recurrent themes associated with the train. The aim is to show how the Orient Express—a dream programmed by highly effective publicity campaigns and created by powerful geographic, historic and literary fantasy—has failed to fully convince not only the passengers, but also writers and readers. Blanche El Gammal holds an agrégation in Classical Literature and a PhD in Comparative Literature from Université de Strasbourg and Université de Bruxelles (2016). Her specialty is Cultural and Literary Exchanges of Mitteleuropa. She participated in the exhibition “Il était une fois l’Orient-Express,” sponsored by the Arab World Institute in 2014.
