One of them was the twenty-three-year-old Che Guevara.\nWritten eight years before the Cuban Revolution, these are Che's diaries - full of disasters and discoveries, high drama, low comedy and laddish improvisations. During his travels through Argentina, Chile, Peru and Venezuela, Che's main concerns are where the next drink is coming from, where the next bed is to be found and who might be around to share it.\nWithin a decade the whole world would know his name. These diaries reveal the human side of the man who was to become a legend.\nWhat distinguishes these diaries is that they reveal a human side to El Che which historians have successfully managed to suppress...A joy to read from start to finish.\n-\nFinancial Times\nPolitically-correct revolutionary hero? Perhaps a few years later, but in this account Che Guevara comes over as one of the lads.\n-\nBike News\nPolitical incorrectness galore...this book should do much to humanise the image of a man who found his apotheosis as a late Sixties cultural icon. It is also, incidentally, a remarkably good travel book about South America.\n-\nScotsman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buy3X.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52911116386528,"sku":"9781857023992_Kitabay Jaipur_50-A2","price":12.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.carouselstore.co.uk\/products\/the-motorcycle-diaries-a-journey-around-south-america","provider":"Carousel Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
