Summary: "Peking-Paris im Automobil" by Luigi Barzini is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles an ambitious motor rally from Peking to Paris, detailing the challenges and experiences faced by the participants during their journey through Asia and Europe. The narrative is led by the vehicle’s driver, Scipione Borghese, and aims to demonstrate the viability of automobiles as a means of transport over long distances. The beginning of the text sets the stage for this daring expedition by revealing insights into the motivations behind the journey. Luigi Barzini recalls the initial announcement of the Peking-Paris race and his subsequent preparation for participation, which includes an introduction to his companion, Ettore Guizzardi, the mechanic of the automobile "Itala." The opening portion emphasizes the technicalities of the vehicle, the logistical planning required for the trip, and the skepticism faced from various quarters regarding the feasibility of such an undertaking. It paints a vivid picture of anticipation and the spirit of adventure that characterizes this remarkable automobile journey. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
