Something about the book

A challenge of French journal "Le matin", a impossible venture: in a car, for 15.000 kilometers, from Beijing to Paris. 

Luigi Barzini, journalist of the italian journal "Corriere della Sera", joins at this historical event with the prince Scipione Borghese and the mechanic Ettore Guizzardi. On 10 June 1907 they started from Beijing and after 60 days they crossed the finish line with their "Itala", the real star of the journey.
