Le 29 décembre 1951, lorsqu'il monte sur le siège arrière de la Norton 500 de son ami Granado, Guevara va bientôt avoir vingt-quatre ans. Cette traversée aventureuse de l'Amérique latine se révélera être un véritable voyage initiatique même si, au départ, les deux étudiants sont plus attirés par le romantisme de la route cher à la Beat Generation que par la découverte des peuples opprimés. Bouillonnement d'êtres et de destins, fragments de vie parallèles ou entrecroisés, ce journal de bord est un document exceptionnel sur la vie de celui qui verra, quelques années plus tard, son image " postérisée " au panthéon révolutionnaire.
Ernesto Che Guevara Livres
Ernesto "Che" Guevara fut un révolutionnaire et intellectuel marxiste dont la vie et la pensée influencèrent profondément les courants politiques et culturels du XXe siècle. Poussé par la conviction de la nécessité d'une révolution mondiale, il prôna des réformes sociales et s'engagea dans des luttes armées pour renverser les régimes oppressifs. Guevara joua un rôle crucial dans la Révolution cubaine et, après son succès, chercha à fomenter des mouvements révolutionnaires ailleurs. Son héritage demeure un sujet de débats passionnés, et son image emblématique est devenue un symbole mondial de résistance et d'idéalisme.

An extraordinary selection of the letters of Che Guevara 'Always be capable of feeling deeply any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world' Che Guevara was an inveterate letter writer and diarist throughout his short but extraordinary life. This selection of his letters begins with his youthful motorcycle travels around Latin America as a wide-eyed medical student, and goes on to cover the Cuban Revolutionary War - including his letter to Castro after its success - his subsequent role as a government leader, travels to the Congo and finally Bolivia at the end of his life. Together they map the emergence of a dedicated revolutionary, but also reveal him as a master narrator: honest and insightful, with a razor-sharp wit, an iron will and, in his intimate writings to his family, a great capacity to express affection for those closest to him.
