Description

Che Guevara’s first wife, Hilda Gadea, paints a personal portrait of the legendary figure, revealing his lesser known side as a romantic wanderer, a philosopher and doting suitor and father. Ernesto Guevara and Hilda Gadea met in Guatemala as members of the political-exile community. Later they were forced to escape to Mexico, where their relationship grew stronger and where, stimulated by Hilda, Che’s convictions were shaped. In Hilda’s account, their life together is full of joy, and the excitement of involvement with the Castros and other Cuban refugees. Gadea was once with Guevara all through a tumultuous period in his life, which turned him from an intellectual theorist to a dedicated revolutionary. Against this backdrop, she offers insight into their long courtship, five years of marriage, and the birth in their daughter, Hildita. Steadily the nature of this influential leader is revealed by the lady who knew him very best, providing an important key to the comprehension of Che’s legendary qualities.
