Description
Latin America in the Tracks of Che Guevara
With a copy of The Motorcyle Diaries, Julian Sayarer sets out on his bicycle in a quest to follow the 1952 journey of Ernesto “Che” Guevara through Latin America.
Propelled by a desire to understand a century and a continent shaped by war and empire, Sayarer brings the Diaries into a new century, exploring what has changed and what has stayed the same, taking in the history of the Cold War and the colonial conquest that came before it.
The altitude of the Andes, and roaring headwinds of Patagonia, make for a seldom easy 10,000km journey
Julian has written a number of bestselling cycling travel books and in his mid-twenties broke a world record for a circumnavigation by bicycle, riding 18,049 miles through 20 countries in 169 days.
Julian combines a background in political science to create a critically acclaimed travel writing style. In this 12mph view of the world, he uses human stories and journeys to document global issues for a broad audience.
