My Terrible Joys. The Story of My Life

The personality of Enzo Ferrari, like that of many great people, is surrounded by an aura of myth. The Great Old Man, Commendatore, Drake, like a puppeteer controlling motorsport from the shadows — from Maranello, the homeland of the legendary 'Scuderia'. This image is largely created by the press and books, fueled by rumors. It was precisely this that convinced Enzo Ferrari to take on his own book — to show how he sees himself. The dream of becoming a driver, the difficult years of two world wars, racing with Alfa Romeo, the founding of Scuderia Ferrari, great drivers, famous guests of Maranello. This is a sincere account from a man who could not imagine his life without motorsport: in his heart lies a great pain — the early loss of his son Dino, after which the joys of Enzo Ferrari forever became terrible.
