Publisher's Summary

A New York Times best seller

The Motorcycle Diaries is Che Guevara's diary of his journey to discover the continent of Latin America while still a medical student, setting out in 1952 on a vintage Norton motorcycle together with his friend Alberto Granado, a biochemist. It captures, arguably as much as any book ever written, the exuberance and joy of one person's youthful belief in the possibilities of humankind tending toward justice, peace, and happiness.

After the release in 2004 of the exhilarating film of the same title, directed by Walter Salles, the book became a New York Times and international best seller.

The Formation of The Man to Come

An amazing look at the early years of a man who would come to help shape the revolutionary struggle of the 21st century. It is fascinating to see some of the formative events that no doubt helped to: form, develop, shape, many of his political and social ideas.

I like to recommend books in pairs. If you're looking for a little bit wider context on Che Guevara, I would suggest reading his "Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolution" (available here on audible) prior to reading this book.
