Peking-Paris im Automobil / Eine Wettfahrt durch Asien und Europa in sechzig Tagen.

A first-person travelogue of a transcontinental automobile race that follows a route from eastern China across the Great Wall, the Mongolian steppes, the Gobi Desert and Siberia, over the Urals and down the rivers toward Western Europe. The narrative combines vivid landscape and weather descriptions with accounts of mechanical failures, navigational and logistical hurdles, and encounters with local populations. Organized chapter by chapter along the route, it alternates adventurous episodes and cultural observations with technical reflections on the automobile’s capabilities and the practical implications of motorized transport for long-distance trade and regional connections.
