The book of the popular movie STARRING GAEL GARCIA BERNAL

NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The young Che Guevara&;s lively and highly entertaining travel diary, now a popular movie and a New York Times bestseller. This new, expanded edition features exclusive, unpublished photos taken by the 23-year-old Ernesto on his journey across a continent, and a tender preface by Aleida Guevara, offering an insightful perspective on the man and the icon.

&;A journey, a number of journeys. Ernesto Guevara in search of adventure, Ernesto Guevara in search of America, Ernesto Guevara in search of Che. On this journey of journeys, solitude found solidarity, &;I&; turned into &;we&;.&; &;Eduardo Galeano

&;When I read these notes for the first time, I was quite young myself and I immediately identified with this man who narrated his adventures in such a spontaneous manner&; To tell you the truth, the more I read, the more I was in love with the boy my father had been&;&; &;Aleida Guevara

&;Our film is about a young man, Che, falling in love with a continent and finding his place in it.&; &;Walter Salles, director of &;The Motorcycle Diaries.&;

&;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
