The Motorcycle Diaries (Movie Tie-in Edition) : Notes on a Latin American Journey

by Ernesto Che Guevara
1175 members / 0 friends / 4 groups / 37 reviews / 40 tags

Special movie tie-in edition of Che Guevara's youthful travel diaries to coincide with the Fall release of Redford & Salles's film of the book. Says director Walter Salles: "If the film reaches a younger audience, I hope it will inspire people to read The Motorcycle Diaries, to have the impression that change can occur."

"As his journey progresses, Guevara's voice seems to deepen, to darken, colored by what he witnesses in his travels. He is still poetic, but now he comments on what he sees, though still poetically, with a new awareness of the social and political ramifications of what's going on around him."-January Magazine

"The Motorcycle Diaries could easily go on to become the first Spanish language nominee for Best Picture."-Roger Friedman, Fox News

    Che got exposed to the adversities of the proletariat , against which he fought all through his life. Very vividly, he explained the picturesque Andes range and the beauties of Latin America. An individual who doesn't vagabond will go after reading this.
    Hasta la victoria siempre..

    It's a amazing book, it is about how a simple adventurous trip makes a person epitomize in to a leader, a philonthropist and revolutionary. It is ethnographic collection of the latin american population in the 50's. Uncomparable epistle.
