Ernesto Che Guevara Livres

En 1847, la Ligue communiste, nouvellement formée, demande à Karl Marx et Friedrich Engels de rédiger un manifeste exposant ses orientations et ses buts. Le Manifeste communiste est publié à Londres en février 1848, en langue allemande. Il connaît une diffusion massive à partir de 1871. Critiquant le révisionnisme d'Eduard Bernstein, Réforme ou révolution est initialement publié sous la forme d'une série d'articles, en septembre 1898 et avril 1899. Bernstein, personnalité de premier plan du mouvement socialiste allemand, rejetait un grand nombre de concepts marxistes, en se basant sur la montée de la social-démocratie et d'une supposée stabilité du capitalisme. Che Guevara rédige en 1965 une lettre, Le socialisme et l'homme, adressée à Carlos Quijano, journaliste à l'hebdomadaire Marcha, à Montevideo. Ces textes sont un acte d'accusation contre l'aliénation, née de l'exploitation de l'homme par l'homme. Ils ont en commun l'idée que le système capitaliste mène, par son propre développement, à la nécessité de socialiser la richesse.

Le 29 décembre 1951, lorsqu'il monte sur le siège arrière de la Norton 500 de son ami Granado, Guevara va bientôt avoir vingt-quatre ans. Cette traversée aventureuse de l'Amérique latine se révélera être un véritable voyage initiatique même si, au départ, les deux étudiants sont plus attirés par le romantisme de la route cher à la Beat Generation que par la découverte des peuples opprimés. Bouillonnement d'êtres et de destins, fragments de vie parallèles ou entrecroisés, ce journal de bord est un document exceptionnel sur la vie de celui qui verra, quelques années plus tard, son image " postérisée " au panthéon révolutionnaire.

Che Guevera in his own words: an intimate portrait of the Marxist revolutionary Fifty years after his death, this book tells the story of the Marxist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara (1928-67)--exploring his legacy as a historical figure, but also encountering him as a human being. Taking its subtitle Tú y Todos from the title of a poem Guevara wrote for his wife before leaving Argentina for Bolivia, the publication aims to rediscover the man behind the iconic revolutionary image, restoring Guevara's story to its more human and historical dimensions. To do so, the book interweaves the geopolitical, the biographical and the personal, mixing different narrative tones and sources--from journalistic narration to the most intimate diary entries. Numerous original archival materials sketch how Guevara's private and public experiences helped develop his ideas about education, foreign policy and economics, his sense of revolution and his hope in the "New Man." Official speeches share space with Guevara's diaries, letters to friends and family and his poems dedicated to his wife, Aleida, a more personal register in which doubts, contradictions and reflections emerge. Che Guevara: Tú y Todos offers an intimate portrait of a figure who has shaped the modern world and captured the imagination of generations. It is the story of Ernesto Guevara, El Che, in his own words.

THE BASIS OF THE MOVIE “ PART ONE” FROM STEVEN SODERBERGH STARRING BENICIO DEL TORO The dramatic art and acute perceptiveness evident in Che Guevara’s early diaries fully blossom in this highly readable and often entertaining account of the guerrilla war that led to the 1959 Cuban Revolution. Reminiscences is one of the two books for Steven Soderbergh’s biopic (along with The Bolivian Diary ). Feature chapters describe Che’s first meeting with Fidel in Mexico, the mythical moment when Che had to choose between a knapsack of medicine and another of ammunition, and the anguished story of the murdered puppy. This new, thoroughly revised edition includes for the first time corrections made to the diary by Che himself and a preface by his daughter Aleida .  “Reflects the life of an extraordinary and important man.”— Library Journal “When Che Guevara cast his lot with Marxism and revolution the world of letters suffered an incalculable loss. Guevara is a brilliant, thoughtful writer. He is lucid, candid and revealing.”— The Cleveland Press     Features of this new edition  

A new selection of the letters of Che Guevera, from birth to death, many released for the very first time Che Guevara was an inveterate letter writer and diarist throughout his short but extraordinary life. His letters and diaries are those of a master narrator, characterized by a brutal honesty, a remarkable lack of ego, a razor-sharp wit, an iron will and a great capacity to express his love and affection for his closest friends and family. This selection of Che Guevara's correspondence, beginning with letters penned in his early travels around Latin America as a medical student, shows how he polished his unique style over the years. This selection maps the emergence of a dedicated revolutionary and original political thinker from the wide-eyed young Argentine who set out to discover Latin America. Covering the entirety of Che's life, from his famous motorcycle journey around South America to the Cuban Revolutionary War, from the setting-up of the pioneering communist state of Cuba to his revolutionary travels to the Congo and Bolivia. But it also reveals a more intimate, personal side to Che, including his letters to his mother, wife and children. In one of his last letters to his young children, Che advised them to 'always be capable of feeling deeply any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world. This is the most beautiful quality in a revolutionary.'

Three speeches on corporate globalism and imperialism by one of the most widely known guerilla fighters, political theorists, and organizers, Che Guevara. In this collection of three speeches, Ernesto Che Guevara offers a revolutionary view of a world in which human solidarity and understanding replace imperialist aggression and exploitation. First, in a sharp speech given in Algeria on February 24, 1965 at the Afro-Asia Economic Seminar, Che speaks about the nature of capitalism and the revolutionary struggle that would open the way for a new, socialist society. Guevara's 1965 essay, "Socialism and Man in Cuba," is a milestone in twentieth-century emancipatory social thought. Finally, “Message to the Tricontinental” is one of Che’s more well-known works, which outlines the tactics and strategies that should be followed in revolutionary struggle. This collection of writings merges Che's philosophy, politics, and economics in his all encompassing, coherent revolutionary vision. His ideas and his struggle strike a chord in the current search for global justice.
