The Spanish-language edition of Self-Portrait, a unique photographic and literary memoir drawing on the rich seam of materials Che Guevara left behind in Cuba. This Self-Portrait reveals the man behind the icon through exclusive, unpublished texts and never-before-seen photographs from Che’s family collection—-including the cover photo personally chosen by his compañera/ widow, Aleida March.

For the first time Che’s private world and thoughts are brought to light, unveiling his extraordinary candor, irony, dry humor and passion. A dedicated amateur photographer, Che’s own self-portraits are a stunning feature of this selection.

This review is from: Che desde la Memoria: El que fui (Che Guevara Publishing Project) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

Para cualquiera que este interesado en la vida del Che Guevara, este es un gran libro que en sus propias palabras e imagenes muestran su realidad, su ideologia y su ser. Las fotos son muy buenas, tienen esa nota de melancolia, de nostalgia, de ganas de luchar por algo. Creo que es un libro que pasa lo policitica y cae en lo personal, en la figura de el en todos sus aspectos. Un libro muy recomendable para tener en la mesa de centro de tu casa y compartirlo, habra mas de uno que se quedara enganchado a el.
