YCastanntilde;eda analiza las fallas de caraaacute;cter que forzaron al Che a irse de Cuba y dar sus energias y, finalmente, su vida a aventuras quijotescas en el Congo y Bolivia. Una obra maestra de erudiciooacute;ny simpatiiacute;a literaria, Companntilde;ero es el retrato definitivo de una figura que continua fascinando e inspirando a gentes del mundo entero.
