Ernesto Che Guevara, az argentin származású forradalmár, miniszter, gerillavezér és író, Buenos Aires-ben szerzett orvosi diplomát, majd a kubai forradalom során jelentős szerepet játszott a szigetország felszabadításában és újjáépítésében. A kubai gazdaság talpraállításáért dolgozott, küzdött az oktatás és az egészségügy fejlesztéséért, az írástudatlanság és a faji előítéletek felszámolásáért. Saját példájával népszerűsítette az önkéntes munkát. Kongóban és Bolíviában is harcolt - harminckilenc éves volt, amikor az amerikai-bolíviai csapatok csapdába ejtették és kivégezték.

La piedra | The stone
|
When Che Guevara was told (while being in the Congo in 1965) that his beloved mother had died, he wrote a short story about his feelings. It was titled La piedra (The stone) - referring to the keychain with a stone that his mother had given him a long ago.
The story can be found in the original Spanish on the internet, but I haven't found an English translation and unfortunately my Spanish knowledge is still not good enough for translating the text by myself. But thanks for Micaela, an amazing girl from Tumblr - now the story can be read in English too.
THE STONE
He told me how they should say these things to a strong man, to a responsible man, and I was grateful. He didn’t lie worry or pain and I tried to not to show neither the one nor the other. It was so simple!
Besides we had to wait the confirmation to be officially sad. I wondered if you could mourn a little. No, it shouldn’t be, because the boss is impersonal; it’s not that you are denying his right to feel, simply, he must not show his own feelings, his soldiers’, perhaps.
- It was a family friend, they phoned him telling that she was really severe, but I went out that day.
-Severe, deathly?
- Yes.
- Don’t stop letting me know about everything.
As soon as I’ll know, but there is no hope. I think.
