About The Motorcycle Diaries

The Motorcycle Diaries is a posthumously published memoir of the Argentine Marxist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. It traces his early travels as a 23-year-old medical student with his friend Alberto Granado, a 29-year-old biochemist. Leaving Buenos Aires, Argentina in January 1952 on the back of a sputtering single cylinder 1939 Norton 500cc dubbed La Poderosa, they desired to explore the South America they only knew from books. During the formative odyssey, Guevara is transformed by witnessing the social injustices of exploited mine workers, persecuted communists, ostracized lepers, and the tattered descendants of a once-great Inca civilization. By journey's end, they had travelled for a "symbolic nine months" by motorcycle, steamship, raft, horse, bus, and hitchhiking, covering more than 8,000 kilometres across places such as the Andes, the Atacama Desert, and the Amazon River Basin.
