Pekin To Paris: An Account Of Prince Borghese�������s Journey Across Two Continents In A Motor Car (1908) is a book written by Italian journalist and writer, Luigi Barzini. The book is a detailed account of the first-ever automobile race from Peking (now Beijing) in China to Paris, France, in 1907. The race was organized by the French newspaper, Le Matin, and saw 40 teams from around the world compete in a grueling 9,000-mile journey across two continents.The book focuses on the journey of Prince Scipione Borghese, an Italian nobleman, who was one of the competitors in the race. Barzini provides a vivid description of the challenges faced by Borghese and his team as they drive through the rugged terrain of China, Mongolia, Siberia, and Europe. The author also captures the excitement and drama of the race, including the various mishaps and accidents that occurred along the way.The book is not just a travelogue, but also a historical document that provides insights into the early days of the automobile and the pioneering spirit of those who dared to take on such a monumental challenge. Barzini�������s writing style is engaging and informative, and he provides a wealth of information about the places, people, and cultures that Borghese and his team encountered on their journey.Overall, Pekin To Paris: An Account Of Prince Borghese�������s Journey Across Two Continents In A Motor Car (1908) is a fascinating book that provides a unique perspective on one of the most remarkable events in the history of motoring. It is a must-read for anyone interested in adventure, travel, and the early days of the automobile.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
