Che Guevara
Accessible and affordable illustrated biography about a topical historical figure
Polo in Argentina
This work--the first of its kind in more than sixty years--covers polo in Argentina, from its beginnings in the 1870s to the summer of 2013. The history of the early pioneers is constructed with data not previously published, gathered from contemporary sources. International competitions are covered and include the Olympic Games, the Cup of the Americas and the World Championships. Particular attention is given to the major clubs, the Argentine and Hurlingham Open Championships, and the National Handicap Tournament. Several of the elite players merit individual or family mini-biographies. Myths in Argentine polo are also debunked, based upon careful analysis of contemporary sources. Travels abroad by Argentine teams are fully described as are the foreign teams that competed in Argentina. The work is enhanced by the author's personal observation of significant events and friendship with many of the participants.

Il Che
Il 9 ottobre 1967 Ernesto Guevara, detto il Che, veniva colpito da una raffica di mitragliatrice in un villaggio boliviano. Con questa fine brutale è nato un mito, la leggenda di san Ernesto che, abbandonate le comodità del potere, ha tentato di conciliare Marx con Rimbaud, ricominciando la lotta. Ne è morto. Ma chi era quel condottiero dallo sguardo intenso riprodotto su migliaia di poster, diventato una leggenda del secolo? Questa biografia si basa su una lunga ricerca durata cinque anni, su un’analisi rigorosa delle fonti e sulle testimonianze di chi conobbe il Che.
