Ein Roadtrip durch Südamerika der 50er Jahre, der den jungen Che politisiert. Eine immer noch schöe Reiselektüre für Argentinien und Chile. Lohnt sich! Sehr persönlich und kurzweilig geschrieben - mir war gar nicht klar, wie sehr Asthma Che Guevara eingeschränkt hat.
I very much enjoyed the way Che writes, and learning about the youth and defining moments of a historical figure. I wish the motorcycle had lasted longer. This is one of those great travel books that absolutely makes you want to jump on a bike and drive off into the world.
Readers should be warned that, although Che Guevara is known for being a progressive who fought for equity and equality, this was still written in the 50s and there is some very stark racism in a few places.
