Synopsis
Cuando llego el momento en que fue muerto en las selvas de Bolivia, donde su cuerpo fue exhibido como un Cristo destronado, Ernesto "Che Guevara se habia convertido en sinonimo de revolucion en todas partes desde Cuba hasta los terrenos universitarios de los Estados Unidos. Esta biografia extraordinaria por uno de los mas prominentes analistas politicos de Latinoamerica revela la leyenda del Che Guevara para mostrar el carismatico e inquieto hombre detras de ella.Tomando de los archivos de tres continentes y de entrevistas con la familia y asociados de Guevara, Jorge Castaneda sigue al Che desde su ninez en la clase media argentina hasta los anos de peregrinaje que lo hicieron un revolucionario dedicado. Castaneda examina las complejas relaciones entre Guevara y Fidel Castro, quien lo hizo su mano derecha aun cuando el Che se convirtio en la conciencia politica de Fidel. Y Castaneda analiza las fallas de caracter que forzaron al Che a irse de Cuba y dar sus energias y, finalmente, su vida a aventuras quijotescas en el Congo y Bolivia. Una obra maestra de erudicion y simpatia literaria, Companero es el retrato definitivo de una figura que continua fascinando e inspirando a gentes del mundo entero.From the Trade Paperback edition.
