Regarded as a central part of Kapuscinski's work, these vivid portraits of life in the depths of Poland embody the young writer's mastery of literary reportage.
Ryszard Kapuscinski (Author)
Ryszard Kapuscinski was born in Poland in 1932. As a foreign
correspondent for PAP, the Polish news agency, until 1981 he was an
eyewitness to revolutions and civil wars in Africa, Asia and Latin
America. His books include The Shadow of the Sun, The Emperor, Shah
of Shahs, Another Day of Life and Travels with Herodotus. He won
dozens of major literary prizes all over the world, and was made
'journalist of the century' in Poland. He died in January 2007.
A peculiar genius with no modern equivalent, except possibly
Kafka
*Jonathan Miller*
Kapuscinski trascends the limitations of journalism and writes with
the narrative power of a Conrad or Kipling or Orwell
*Blake Morrison*
