Book Reviews of The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey
Book Review: A personal portrait
Summary: 3 Stars
What surprises me most about this book is how much more real and good and personal Che Guevara seems to me after reading it. I have seen the movie and expected the Diaries to be much more political, but there is actually only a single passage in the Diaries about a unified Latin America. He is moved by the conditions of the people he encounters and specifically notes aspects of healthcare that desperately need improvement, in addition to economic factors like how the mining industry impacts communities, but his notes seem to be much more personal than political. It is his personal voice that really impressed me and makes me want to know more about Che Guevara as a leader.
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 It also features previously unpublished photos (taken by Che on his travels), as well as new, unpublished parts of the diaries, poems and letters.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).
