In January 1952 two young men from Buenos Aires set out to explore South America on a 500cc Norton. One of them was the twenty-three-year-old Ernesto ' Che' Guevara. Written eight years before the Cuban Revolution these are the diaries of Che Guevara full of disasters & discoveries high drama & laddish improvisations. Touring through Argentina Chile Peru & Venezuela his greatest concerns are where the next drink is coming from where the next bed is to be found & who might be around to share it. Within a decade Che Guevara would be a household name. His trip might have been the adventure of a lifetime
- had his lifetime not turned into a much greater adventure. More recently made into an Oscar-winning film starring Gael Garcia Bernal ' The Motorcycle Diaries' is an extraordinary account of a hero in the making.
