A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'Powerful and poetic...For anyone interested in the myth of Che Guevara, and in the idea that a small group of determined men can take over a country, this book is essential reading.' Colm Toibin, Observer

'Che's life is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom. We will always honour his memory. Nelson Mandela

Praise for the films, Che Part 1 and Che Part 2 .

Brilliant. The Times

A grand Hollywood war movie. Del Toro gives a stunning performance as Che Guevara. **** Empire

Soderbergh s best film. A masterpiece. **** Total Film

'Che is brilliant...incandescent a piece of full-on, you-are-there realism...[A] perfect dream movie, which is also politically vibrant and searing.' Jeffrey Wells, Hollywood Elsewhere

'Che is a piece of entertainment that delivers excitement, pathos and pure film-making passion...The end result is masterful expressive, innovative, striking, exciting.' www.cinematical.com

Praise for The Motorcycle Diaries:

'What distinguishes these diaries is that they reveal a human side to El Che which historians have successfully managed to suppress...one senses El Che's belief that determination and conviction can be enough to change one's self and others...a joy to read from start to finish.' Financial Times

'Political 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.' Scotsman

--Scotsman

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book presents Che Guevara on his life as a revolutionary. From 1956 to 1959, the people of Cuba struggled against immense odds to emerge victorious, from years of brutal regime. This book is a classic account of the popular war that transformed a nation, as well as che himself from troop doctor to world famous revolutionary. "For a long time we have wanted to write the history of our revolution....But the task are many, the years go by, and the memory of the insurrection is dissolving into the past. These events have not yet been properly described, events which already belonged to the history of the Americas." This book also features a preface by Che Guevara's daughter Aleida, and a new translation with Che's own corrections, incorporated into the text.
