PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
The often hilarious adventures of the pre-revolutionary 23-year-old Ernesto Guevara as he wanders through South America first on the back of his not-so-trusty motorcycle "la Poderosa," then by thumb, stowing away on boats, and every other means on conveyance imaginable. It's a Latin American "On the Road", with the blessing or curse (depending on who you talk to) of having been edited by the older, wiser guerilla fighter and revolutionary. Che's companion Alberto Granado (who founded the Santiago School of Medicine) is in his 80s and living in Cuba.
