They deployed together, experiencing the camaraderie, fear, smell, pain, violence and senseless deaths. And through it all they wrote letters back and forth with the loved ones they’d left behind. Back at home, the families of Charlie Company faced fear, loneliness and uncertainty.

Ernesto Che Guevara was a voyager - and thus a letter writer - for his entire adult life. The letters collected in I Embrace You with All My Revolutionary Fervor: Letters 1947-1967 range from letters home during his Motorcycle Diaries trip, to the long letter to Fidel after the success of the Cuban revolution in early 1959 (from which the book's title comes).

Ernesto Che Guevara fue un viajero - y por lo tanto un escritor de cartas - a lo largo de su vida de adulto. Las cartas coleccionadas aquí incluyen un amplio rango, de cartas a sus padres durante su viaje en motocicleta a la extensiva carta a Fidel luego del éxito de la revolución cubana a comienzos de 1959, de lo más personal a lo intensamente político, revelando a alguien que no solo ahondaba a través del pensamiento en todo lo que encontraba, pero para quien el proceso de transformación social fue un compañero constante desde su juventud hasta poco antes de su muerte.

Ein Jude, geboren 1897, mit einem Lebenslauf, quer durch die Katastrophen des Jahrhunderts, den es durch die Welt, von Berlin nach Jerusalem getrieben hat: Gershom Scholem - Historiker und Philosoph.

Und vor allem: Er dringt vor ins Innerste, ins Herz der jüdischen Mystik, macht die Kabbala zum lebenslangen Objekt seiner Forschung. Scholem holt die Kabbala, diese, wie ein Fremdkörper, in der jüdischen Geschichte ruhende Überlieferung, aus der Vergessenheit ans Licht der Philologie.
