Che Guevara

El lector tendrá en sus manos un libro singular, donde se publica un poco de la obra y otro poco de la vida de un personaje que perteneció al México del siglo pasado; que fue portavoz de su tiempo y heredero de tradiciones que se van olvidando. Se llamó Pancho Liguori. Le tocaron años de bohemia fecunda, cuando en las barras opulentas y en los humildes cafetines se cultivaban afectos y se consumaban hallazgos del ingenio. Su legado, más bien efímero, inspira un trabajo como éste, que ayude a consolidar y preservar su imagen.

In the scene that emerges, Levi visits a group of schoolchildren to retell his life story and keep the memory of the Holocaust alive, answering innocent questions with hard truths....
