The handwritten text records the journey that Che Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado took twice in 1951, riding motorcycles and stopping cars on the highway, roaming five countries in South America, as well as his observations and thoughts. The two young people experienced the social and political issues in Latin America during their journey, and the various things they experienced during the journey constantly changed their views. Guevara saw with his own eyes the suffering and social injustice in the world, and then realized the direction of his life. It was after this journey of discovery that Che joined the Cuban Revolution.
Reader comments
You are very useful, but you don't know how much you have contributed to society. Everything you have done has been ruthlessly stifled by society.
A magnificent life
This book is so real, it's like the author is beside you and chatting with you! The stories in the diary remind me of the days when I was young and running around the city. Although it was hard work, it was full of curiosity about the world. Che Guevara's adventurous spirit is really admirable, and his writing also made me feel his concern for social issues. I think this book is not only a record of travel, but also a reflection on life.
A young communist fighter and Marxist-Leninist thinker left a bright life trajectory full of vitality.
