Originally deemed a cynical, pessimistic - and, above all, overly
revealing - portrayal of life as a newspaperman upon its release in
interwar Denmark, Havoc has since gone on to become a much loved
modern classic in its home country, with its 'longed for
shipwrecks' verse becoming one of the most oft quoted in the Danish
language. Will Jastrau re-emerge into polite society, or sink to a
place from where he will never resurface?

Between 1997 and 2014, Tom Kristensen won the world's toughest
motor race, the Le Mans 24 Hours, a record nine times and finished
on the podium on five more occasions. Every time his car made it to
the finish, in fact, he was in the top three. It is no wonder that
this great sports car driver is known as 'Mr Le Mans' to motorsport
fans around the world. Now retired from racing, Kristensen shares
in this book his deepest personal reflections and insights from
inside and outside the cockpit. He looks back on more than 30 years
spent striving for perfection in racing and tells of the battles
and setbacks that sometimes seemed impossible to overcome,
including a terrible accident in 2007. Voted 'Sports Book of the
Year' when originally published in Kristensen's native Denmark,
this thoughtful memoir is now available in English.
The biggest names in motorsport go head-to-head in the ultimate
contest of driving skills. Stars past and present from Formula 1,
the World Rally Championship and Superbikes compete in a series of
events held for the first time in China, at Beijing's Bird's Nest
stadium. Drivers featured include: Michael Schumacher, Jenson
Button, Sebastian Vettel, Mikko Hirvonen, Mick Doohan, Tom
Kristensen, and Andy Priaulx.
With nine victories, he holds the record for the most wins at the
Le Mans 24 Hours - and he has written motorsport history. The Book,
however, is more than just Tom Kristensen's chronicle of his
successes at Le Mans: it takes the reader on an exciting journey
through four decades full of emotions - from petrol pumps at his
parents' filling station in Denmark to champagne showers in front
of 250,000 fans at the world's greatest motor race. Private and
never-seen-before pictures, untold stories, new facts and personal
insights as told by Kristensen himself make The Book unique.
Published in a very large, sumptuous format to best display its
superb photographs, The Book will be treasured by the Danish hero's
legions of fans and all motorsport enthusiasts captivated by the Le
Mans 24 Hours.
