The 'fatal charm of Italy' has held Lord Byron and millions of tourists ever since in its spell. Yet, beneath 'the brilliant and vivacious surface', what are the realities of Italian life? Few writers have ever painted a portrait of their compatriots as crisp, frank and fearless as Luigi Barzini's. Cutting through the familiar clich s, he instructs us with a cascade of anecdotes and provides a marvellous guided tour through centuries of history. He examines Machiavelli and Mussolini, popes, pilgrims and prostitutes, cliques and conspiracies, Casanova and the crippling power of the Church. Yet alongside the Baroque exuberance and spectacular display, the love of life and the life of love, he also shows us a divided nation, injustice, ignorance, poverty and fear. All this is Italy, a country of dazzling achievement and an uncanny aptitude for getting round problems; both its virtues and its vices are celebrated in this sparkling book

E il 1907 quando Luigi Barzini attraversa il mondo a bordo di un'automobile. Accettata la sfida posta da un giornale francese, Barzini, a sua volta cronista di un quotidiano italiano, montera insieme a Scipione Borghese e all'autista-meccanico Ettore Guizzardi sulla leggendaria automobile Itala. Partenza Pechino, arrivo Parigi, tutto in meno di sessanta giorni. Una traversata leggendaria e disseminata di avventure. Lungo questi quindicimila chilometri, raccontati incredibilmente da Barzini, il lettore si perdera in un mare di culture diverse e paesaggi mozzafiato.-

Un classico reportage in prima persona dalle trincee della Prima Guerra Mondiale. Il cronista Luigi Barzini, presente sul luogo, riporta implacabilmente su carta le battaglie, le pause, i silenzi e le notti fredde al fronte. Un documento storico vivido e dettagliato, in grado di mostrare le condizioni orribili e la sofferenza di una della pagine più buie del Novecento, ‘Al fronte’ è una finestra sulle atrocità aperta da chi queste atrocità le ha vissute sulla propria pelle.Luigi Barzini (1874-1947) è stato uno scrittore e giornalista italiano. Nel 1907 prende parte alla leggendaria traversata Pechino-Parigi a bordo di un’automobile, un'impresa raccontata dettagliatamente nel suo reportage 'La metà del mondo vista da un'automobile'.

"Gibt es jemanden, der diesen Sommer eine Fahrt per Automobil von Peking nach Paris unternehmen wird?", fragte die Pariser Zeitung Le Matin am 31. Januar 1907. Es meldeten sich 40 Teilnehmer für das Rennen an. Aufgrund unüberwindlicher Schwierigkeiten starteten letztlich doch nur fünf Teams am 10. Juni um 8:00 Uhr in Peking. Der aus einer Patrizierfamilie stammende Scipione Borghese, der Sieger dieses Rennens, schreibt an sein Teammitglied, den Journalisten und Autor Luigi Barzini: "Uns [...] erwartete allgemeiner Beifall, erwartete die Genugtuung, einen Augenblick lang die Begeisterung der großen Metropolen der Welt, der betriebsamen Städte, der stillen Flecken in ganz Europa erregt zu haben! Am Punkt der Abfahrt die geheimnisvolle Hauptstadt des rätselhaften Reiches, aus dem das Geräusch des Lebens wegen der räumlichen Entfernung und des Abstandes im Denken nur gedämpft zu uns herüberklingt; am Endpunkt der lauteste Resonanzboden der Welt, Paris, von wo jeder, auch der leiseste Hauch des Lebens sich verstärkt und in tausendfachem Echo vervielfältigt über die ganze Erde verbreitet ... Der Telegraph und die Presse, sie sind die unmittelbare Ursache der Volkstümlichkeit, deren sich unser Unternehmen zu erfreuen hatte. Diese beiden sind es, die Ihre spannende Darstellung überallhin verbreitet haben, die den eintönigen und für uns nur allzu häufig höchst verdrießlichen Zwischenfällen der Reise Interesse verlieh. ... Und das Publikum hat die Poesie gefühlt, die die einzelnen Kapitel dieser unserer modernsten Odyssee erfüllt."
