Ernesto Che Guevara (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2004

“When I read these notes for the first time, I was quite young myself and I immediately identified with this man who narrated his adventures in such a spontaneous manner . . .

“There were moments when I literally took over Granado’s place on the motorbike and clung to my dad’s back, journeying with him over the mountains and around the lakes . . .

“To tell you the truth, the more I read, the more I was in love with the boy my father had been . . .”— from Aleida Guevara’s preface

“A journey, a number of journeys. Ernesto Guevara in search of adventure, Ernesto Guevara in search of America, Ernesto Guevara in search of Che. On this journey of journeys, solitude found solidarity, ‘I’ turned into ‘we’.”—Eduardo Galeano

The book I got was in excellent condition. It was brand new, even when I paid as a used book. Thank you so much for your great work on favor of your customers. This book is about contemporary Latin America history. It is the foundation for the movie with the same title. It also has two very good introductions, including one by a doughter of El Che Guevara. I think everybody knows that he was a great rovolutionary leader in Latin America, but I was suprised to learn about his literary vocation in this book.

This book, a diary of Che Guevara's trip to South America in 1952, shows the reader how the ideas of Che came to be. He sees the poverty, unemployment and exploitation of workers in South America.
