The solitude of “Che” Guevara at the twilight of his life is therefore one of the key passages of this book, a profound reflection on the feeling of every man who, having given his life for an Ideal, sees this Ideal moving further away due to the indifference and egoistic, irrational, self-destructive impulses of the people to whom it is directed.

This review offers a deep reflection on Ernesto Che Guevara's diary, portraying him as a saintly figure of liberation and idealism. It emphasizes the loneliness and struggle inherent in his revolutionary path and the eventual hope his legacy inspires. The reviewer also acknowledges the complexities and ambiguities surrounding Guevara’s impact and communism. Ultimately, the diary is presented as a meaningful gift linking personal rebirth with social hope. Explore Che Guevara's diary and discover a powerful message of hope and revolutionary spirit.

 Wobble’s bass takes center stage throughout the album: it colors the tracks with his own sense of groove, markedly hypnotic and nervous.

 I limit myself to observing this nun carrying a tray with a Droste package depicting a nun carrying a tray... and, between us, it is a great example of Pop Art that has unfortunately become a conceptual icon.

 The 'falling into infinity' has always fascinated humans, and despite metaphysical whims... it’s amusing to discover how many scientific theories describe the universe as a huge box of Droste chocolates.
