An iconic bestseller: Che Guevara´s account of his youthful adventures travelling around South America on his motorcycle
´All we could see was the dust on the road ahead and ourselves on the bike, devouring kilometers in our flight northward´
´In late 1951, Guevara and Alberto Granado set off on the 500cc Norton they nicknamed La Poderosa (´The Powerful One´) with no other agenda than a lust for life and a desire to see it all. The Motorcycle Diaries offer a unique perspective on what led this would-be doctor from relatively affluent Argentina to become one of the 20th century´s most important political figures ... genuinely exhilarating´ Guardian
´For every comic escapade of the carefree roustabout there is an equally eye-opening moment in the development of the future revolutionary leader. By the end of the journey, a politicized Guevara has emerged to predict his own legendary future´ Time
