Ryszard Kapuscinski lives in Warsaw, Poland.
“A highly detailed, heartfelt, but unsentimental introduction to
Africa’s afflictions and a quiet love song to its profound appeal.”
—The Wall Street Journal, Ryszard Kapuscinski (Author of The
Emperor)
"The penetrating intelligence of Mr. Kapuscinski's vision and his
knack for a kind of crystallized descriptive writing have never
been on better display. . . . A marvel of humane, sorrowful and
lucid observation." —The New York Times
“[Kapuscinski] has explored that sliver of high, thinly populated
ground on which journalism and literature are occasionally joined.
. . . A wise, engaging close-up filled with faces, landscapes,
rutted roads, and the daily perils of African life."
—BusinessWeek
“[Kapuscinski's] great strengths are his style--candid, understated
and slightly absurdist, veering into abrupt flights of lyricism on
unexpected subjects--and his gift for picking out stories, that
condense volumes of information into a single perfectly crafted
passage." —The Washington Post
