«Ernesto Guevara, también conocido como el Che» is the biography by Paco Ignacio Taibo II, published by Editorial Planeta in paperback (766 pages).
A biography that reconstructs Ernesto Guevara's life with unpublished material —photographs, testimonies and diaries— and shows him beyond the myth: the stubborn, irreverent and mocking man who, as Minister of Industry in Cuba, never quite tied his boots. Taibo II explores how the Che legend was forged and why it still resonates.
Winner of the Bancarella Prize in 1998, this is the second paperback edition, framed in the history and biography category.
For readers of Latin American history and politics, and for those who want to know the figure beyond the commercial icon.
