Book Reviews of The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey
Book Review: Wow
Summary: 5 Stars
I urge all of you to read and get to know "El Che!" as Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, on this reflective journey across South America. He gains a whole different meaning and outlook towards life as soon as he returns to his starting point. His experience will help you understand his motivation in participation with the Revolutionary movement of Cuba Libre. I've enjoyed reading it, and I hope ya'll will read it to.
Summary of The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey
These travel diaries capture the essence and exuberance of the young legend, Che Guevara. In January 1952, Che set out from Buenos Aires to explore South America on an ancient Norton motorcycle. He encounters an extraordinary range of people -- from native Indians to copper miners, lepers and tourists -- experiencing hardships and adventures that informed much of his later life.This expanded, new edition from Ocean Press, published with exclusive access to the Che Guevara Archives held in Havana, includes a preface by Che's daughter, Aleida Guevara. It also features previously unpublished photos (taken by Che on his travels), as well as new, unpublished parts of the diaries, poems and letters.
In January 2004, the film by the same name, The Motorcycle Diaries, will have its world premiere at the Sundance International Film Festival, in Park City, Utah. Directed by Walter Salles (Central Station, Behind the Sun), produced by Robert Redford and with a screenplay by Jos? Rivera, the film stars the up-and-coming Mexican actor Gael Garc?a Bernal (Amores Perros, Y Tu Mam? Tambi?n, The Crimes of Father Amaro).
