  <default-description>&lt;P&gt;These travel diaries capture the essence and exuberance of the young legend, Che Guevara. In January 1952, Che set out from Buenos Aires to explore South America on an ancient Norton motorcycle. He encounters an extraordinary range of people-from native Indians to copper miners, lepers and tourists-experiencing hardships and adventures that informed much of his later life.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This expanded, new edition from Ocean Press, published with exclusive access to the Che Guevara Archives held in Havana, includes a preface by Che's daughter, Aleida Guevara. It also features previously unpublished photos (taken by Che on his travels), as well as new, unpublished parts of the diaries, poems and letters.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&quot;A Latin James Dean or Jack Kerouac.&quot;-&lt;I&gt;Washington Post&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&quot;For every comic escapade of the carefree roustabout there is an equally eye-opening moment in the development of the future revolutionary leader. By the end of the journey, a politicized Che Guevara has emerged to predict his own revolutionary future.&quot;-&lt;I&gt;Time&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The publication of this new, expanded edition of &lt;I&gt;The Motorcycle Diaries &lt;/I&gt;coincides with the release of Robert Redford's new film based on the &lt;I&gt;Diaries&lt;/I&gt;. This film and another forthcoming from Steven Soderbergh in Fall 2003 will provoke even greater &quot;Che-mania&quot; and increase sales of all Ocean's titles on Che Guevara.&lt;/P&gt;</default-description>
