Guevara

A New York Times Bestseller With a new introduction by The Motorcyle Diaries filmmaker Walter Salles, and featuring 24 pages of photos taken by Che. A journey, a number of journeys. Ernesto Guevara in search of adventure, Ernesto Guevara in search of America, Ernesto Guevara in search of Che. On this journey, solitude found solidarity. 'I' turned into 'we'. --Eduardo Galeano As his journey progresses, Guevara's voice seems to deepen, to darken, colored by what he witnesses in his travels. He is still poetic, but now he comments on what he sees, though still poetically, with a new awareness of the social and political ramifications of what's going on around him. --January Magazine Our film is about a young man, Che, falling in love with a continent and finding his place in it. --Walter Salles, director of the film version of The Motorcycle Diaries All this wandering around Our America with a Capital A has changed me more than I thought. --Ernesto Che Guevara, from The Motorcycle Diaries The Motorcycle Diaries is Che Guevara's diary of his journey to discover the continent of Latin America while still a medical student, setting out in 1952 on a vintage Norton motorcycle together with his friend Alberto Granado, a biochemist. It captures, arguably as much as any book ever written, the exuberance and joy of one person's youthful belief in the possibilities of humankind tending towards justice, peace and happiness. After the release in 2004 of the exhilarating film of the same title, directed by Walter Salles, the book became a New York Times and international bestseller. This edition includes a new introduction by Walter Salles and an array of new material that was assembled for the 2004 edition coinciding with the release of the film, including 24 pages of previously unpublished photos taken by Che, notes and comments by his wife, Aleida Guevara March, and an extensive introduction by the distinguished Cuban author, Cintio Vitier.

Notes on a Latin American Journey

The Motorcycle Diaries

甄别

我原以为革命需要先啃透大部头，但切·格瓦拉用一次“荒唐”的摩托之旅告诉我：信仰的种子，往往长在真实世界的伤口里。

跟着格瓦拉的摩托车颠簸前行，我看见了矿工咳出的黑血、麻风病人被隔离的眼神、被地主驱赶的农民——这些画面比任何剩余价值公式都更直接地叩击我的良知。他在日记中写道：“写下这些日记的人，在重新踏上阿根廷土地时，已经死去，又已重生。”我忽然明白，马克思主义从来不是冰冷的逻辑推演，而是对“人何以不成为人”的痛苦追问。那辆破旧的“大力神”载着他穿越安第斯山脉，也载着他穿越了阶级壁垒的幻觉。

这本书最打动我的，是格瓦拉并非天生的革命者。他起初只是好奇的医学生，但在亲眼目睹“美洲的苦难”后，他放下听诊器，举起枪——这不是浪漫的冲动，而是“看见”之后的必然选择。这让我反思：我们这代青年是否也被困在信息茧房里？我们读理论，却未必真正“看见”身边那些沉默的劳动者。

《摩托日记》不是革命手册，而是一份关于“如何成为革命者”的原始档案。它提醒我：马克思主义的终极力量，不在书本的字里行间，而在走向人民、与人民同行的每一步中。合上书，我暗下决心——不仅要读懂世界，更要像格瓦拉那样，勇敢地走进去，改变它。
