The Motorcycle Diaries

Product Information

Paula Nechak of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer praised director Salles by remarking that he "presents the evolutionary course of a young man who coincidentally became the dorm-room poster boy for an idealistic generation, and captures the lovely, heart-and-eye-opening ode to youthful possibility with affection and compassion." [23] Washington Post critic Desson Thomson lent praise for the film's starring actor by observing that "what Bernal and this well-wrought movie conveys so well is the charisma that would soon become a part of human history, and yes, T-shirts."

I began dressing slowly, a task which wasn’t very difficult because the difference between our night wear and day wear consisted, generally, of shoes.” Phase 1 is him becoming a revolutionary, and the fun thing about this book is that you get to watch it happen. It's his real diary from this cross-continental trip, and it starts off sortof like a typical young guy road trip, brash and full of stories about getting drunk with strangers - On the South American Road, you know? And then he runs into this old woman dying of asthma and is consumed by rage. The poor thing was in a pitiful state, breathing the acrid smell of concentrated sweat and dirty feet that filled her room...It is at times like this, when a doctor is conscious of his complete powerlessness, that he longs for change: a change to prevent the injustice of a system in which only a month ago this poor woman was still earning her living as a waitress, wheezing and panting but facing life with dignity. In circumstances like this, individuals in poor families who can't pay their way become surrounded by an atmosphere of barely disguised acrimony; they stop being father, mother, sister or brother and become a purely negative force in the struggle for life and, consequently, a source of bitterness for the healthy members of the community who resent their illness as if it were a personal insult to those who have to support them. Communist couple to whom Che and Alberto lend their blanket, even though they themselves were shivering from cold. These Diary notes provide us with an ernest and fetching account of a young Che, a middle-class kid, not yet embarked on the violent and heroic road that stretched past these early trails.

And how can I not slip in a hurrah for revolution, by Michael Parenti? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npkee... Most of the book is about how they found ways to get from one place to another and what they ate, and I understand from my own travels on the cheap that it really can be all about these two things. His diary gives us the feel of being on the road: survival, adventure, the companionship of travelers, the kindness of strangers. After leaving Argentina, they make their way to Chile by boat. In Chile, they are local celebrities due to their work on leprosy; a newspaper article about them and their adventures secures them lodging and food many times while they are in Chile. Unfortunately, the bike crashes too many times and cannot be revived, so Guevara and Alberto enter the new phase of their journey as “bums without wheels.”Working partially in public health, I always find it curious how “educated” healthcare professionals often compartmentalize their expertise, resulting in narrow social imagination (this is particularly egregious in global health). What are the most visceral ways to expose the contradictions of public health in the context of profit over people, and how do we then present a re-imagined context? Weiser, Frans (4 December 2013).

When Written: Guevara ostensibly wrote his memoir as a series of impromptu diary entries during his 1952 expedition. However, at least some editing occurred between 1952 and the memoir’s eventual publication in 1993. Some scholars have suggested that Guevara embellished the original narrative later on, or that his daughter or the Cuban government made alterations during editing. Perhaps one day tired of circling the world I'll return to Argentina and settle in the Andean lakes if not indefinitely then at least for a pause while I shift from one understanding of the world to another.”
