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.

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.
