Features: This is not a bold adventure story, nor is it a kind of "cynical commentary"; less so, it wasn’t the intention behind writing it. It was an experience shared by two beings with a common spirit and similar dreams.」 The story begins here, yet this journey also changed a person. Whether you know about Che or not, but as all introductions about him say,「You’ve surely seen his image.」 How can I put it? About the man, Che. There will always be people in the world who move forward for their dreams, and I deeply admire such people. Once, while searching for his information, I came across a website where he had a skeleton unearthed years later, along with music made in his honor… Che, the man, may have been considered a god in some sense. In this era, what we sometimes need isn’t money or armor, but perhaps just an upright, perfect soul.
Che and his friend Alberto set off together on December 1951, riding a motorcycle from Buenos Aires, Argentina, embarking on a discovery journey across most of South America. From this trip, Che witnessed firsthand the hardships of humanity and social injustice, which in turn guided him to realize the direction of his life. The book’s journal-style records the fun and hardships, observations, and reflections from his journey, showcasing the romantic, selfless, and sense of justice in his character. To understand Che’s extraordinary life, why not start with one of the most important journeys in his life.
