A Russian train which makes no stops, the Yellow Arrow has no end and no beginning, and its destination is a ruined bridge. Andrei, less and less lulled by the never-ending hum of the wheels, begins to look for a way to escape. But life in the carriages goes on as always. "Indifferent to their fate, the passengers carry on as usual - trading in nickel melted down from the carriage doors, attending the Upper Bank avante-garde theatre, leafing through Pasternak's "Early Trains, " or disposing of their dead through the compartment windows. ( "The London Observer" )."
