Ferrari Rex
Grazie ad una ricerca capillare e scrupolosa, Ferrari Rex è il libro che non era ancora stato scritto sulla vita di Enzo Ferrari, la biografia che ridefinisce la vita di un gigante del ventesimo secolo e lo consegna alla storia – non solo a quella dell’automobile – come uno dei personaggi più poliedrici, complessi, tormentati e monumentali nella storia d’Italia. Dalle pagine di questo libro emerge l’uomo Enzo Ferrari in tutta la sua gigantesca fragilità, con insospettate debolezze e mai confessate incertezze, con i sogni, le speranze, le delusioni, i successi e le tragedie che ne hanno plasmato la lunga e straordinaria esistenza. Pagina dopo pagina, prende così forma un Ferrari dal volto più umano di quanto non gli riconosca l’iconografia classica e più vulnerabile di quanto non si pensi. Ma anche un uomo di una tenacia spesso passata inosservata o volgarmente scambiata per arroganza, e di un ottimismo per certi versi inaspettato. Ecco il primo ritratto a tutto tondo dell’uomo che Enzo Biagi definì «Uno dei pochi italiani da esportazione».

Enzo
Enzo Ferrari – Mensch und Mythos Respektiert, geachtet, gefürchtet, verehrt – in Italien war Enzo Ferrari schon zu Lebzeiten eine Mischung aus Nationalheld und Heiliger. Geboren 1898, zeigte er schon früh eine Begeisterung für motorisierte Fahrzeuge. Sein Einstieg in die Welt des Motorsports war jedoch hart erkämpft. Vor allem als Rennfahrer für Alfa Romeo tat er sich hervor und holte mehr als ein Dutzend Siege für die junge Marke. Trotzdem erkannte Enzo, dass seine Fähigkeiten als Fahrer begrenzt waren. Mit dem Einsatz eigener Rennwagen und mit dem Bau von Straßensportwagen formte er Ferrari in der Nachkriegszeit zu der Weltmarke, die wir heute kennen. Von sich, seinen Mechanike...
