Beschreibung

<p><b>'A Latin American James Dean or Jack Kerouac' <i>Washington Post</i></b><br><br><b>'It's true; Marxists just wanna have fun... a revolutionary bestseller' <i>Guardian</i></b><br><br>At the age of twenty-three, Ernesto 'Che' Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado set out from their native Argentina to explore their continent, with only a single 1939 Norton motorcycle to carry them, nicknamed <i>La Poderosa </i>('the powerful one'). <br><br>They travelled not to visit the usual tourist attractions, but to meet ordinary people and understand Latin American life. In amidst the tales of youthful adventures - of women, wine, thrilling escapes and the power of friendship - the young Che also learns first-hand about poverty, philosophy and philosophy and forms himself into the man who would become the world's most famous and admired revolutionary and freedom fighter.<br><br> 'For every comic escapade of the carefree roustabout there is an equally eye-opening moment in the development of the future revolutionary leader. By the end of the journey, a politicized Guevara has emerged to predict his own legendary future' <i>Time</i></p>
