About the Author

Ernesto "Che" Guevara was born in Rosario, Argentina on June 14, 1928, to an aristocratic family of Spanish-Irish descent. He was known from an early age for his dynamic personality and radical points of view. Guevara graduated from the University of Buenos Aires with a degree of doctor of medicine mostrar mais and surgery in 1953. He witnessed the 1954 CIA-backed coup in Guatemala that ended the regime of socialist Jacobo Arbenz. As a direct result, Guevara became convinced that the United States would never support leftist governments and that violent revolution was the only way to end poverty in Latin America. He joined Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement in 1956, and following the Cuban Revolution held several influential posts in the new socialist government, including Minister of Industries. In 1965, Che left Cuba for the ex-Belgian Congo to support the Marxist Simba movement, which was ultimately unsuccessful. Following his time in Africa, Guevara traveled to Bolivia to teach guerrilla warfare to native Communists preparing for revolution. He was captured during a military operation by army forces supported by the United States and executed on October 9, 1967. Guevara's remains were discovered in 1997 and relocated to a mausoleum in Cuba. Guevara had a daughter with Hilda Gadea, whom he married in 1955 and divorced in 1959, and four children with his second wife, Aleida March, a Cuban-born member of the 26th of July movement. He also had a son with Lilia Rosa López. After his death Guevara became a global icon of martyrdom and a symbol of rebellion, particularly during the worldwide student protests of the late 1960s. Among his most noted written works, which include texts on guerilla warfare, socialism, and political economy, are "The Motorcycle Diaries," "Bolivian Diary," and "Reminiscences of the Cuban Revolutionary War."

One of the reasons that I enjoy autobiographical books, is that it is virtually impossible to maintain a false character throughout several hundred pages.

Were Mr Guevara to be alive today and, to further stretch credibility, were he to be concerned as to my reading of his character, I would hasten to assure him that he need not so do. This book screams that its writer is a thoroughly decent chap: not a single question on the matter may be considered unanswered.

Enlightening and a read that reenforces one's faith in humankind.… (mais)

Che Guevera's appeal to young people come from his dreamy temperament, revolutionary ideals, impulsive actions, and longing for a better world. This book captures all those things--as it shows a young man embarking on a poorly planned Latin American trip. The best parts recall him interacting with locals. It shows how his encounters with poverty, the ill, and indigenous culture influenced who he'd become. Likewise, the weakest sections show him as an immature dude full of scatological humor, lustful thoughts, and bizarre commentary on people of African descent. Still, it's hard to fault an autobiographical book for documenting the person at the time, and not who they would mature to become.… (mais)

Scientist, traveller, revolutionary. That’s the portrait of Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara that emerges from a new collection of his letters that uses material long guarded in Cuban archives. I Embrace You with All My Revolutionary Fervor: Letters 1947-1967 begins with Guevara as a 19-year-old in his native Argentina, spans his ventures across Latin America and in Congo, and ends months before his death in Bolivia. Guevara is a fine letter-writer and this collection highlights the maturity of his young mind. A research medic and a stringent social critic, he is a lively wit who describes himself as a ‘little wandering prophet who, in a loud voice, goes around announcing the coming of the final judgment day’.

The wandering prophet’s communist commitment gestated in his young adulthood, as he saw Latin America’s vast inequalities at close quarters during his motorcycle trip through South America in 1952 and his travels across Central America from 1953 to 1956. In Costa Rica, having witnessed the treatment of local workers by the US multinational company United Fruit, Guevara writes to his aunt: ‘I swore before a picture of the old and lately lamented compañero, Stalin, not to rest until I see these capitalist octopuses annihilated.’

Along with the strength of his ideology, the letters underscore his devotion to science. Guevara appears to have been close to the cutting edge of allergy medicine in Latin America. ‘I am certain’, he wrote in 1954, ‘that if I reach my truly creative phase at about 35, my exclusive, or at least main, concern will be nuclear physics, or genetics, or some other field that brings together the most interesting aspects of knowledge.’

Classic works by Ernesto Che Guevara, presenting a revolutionary view of a different world in which human solidarity and understanding replace imperialist aggression and exploitation. Includes Socialism and Man in Cuba, plus Che's controversial speech in Algiers in 1965 and his final Message to the Tricontinental in which he calls for the creation of Two, Three, Many Vietnams'.'
