A collection of Ryszard Kapuściński’s ruminations about globalization, history, and specific geographical regions: Africa, Latin America, Europe and Russia.
The book’s selection of texts and arrangement of the chapters was approved by Ryszard Kapuściński himself. One can treat this text as a supplement to his first-rate works of reportage, or as a point of departure for weighing in on the richness of our multifaceted modern world.
„These texts show Ryszard Kapuściński as not only a reporter and writer, they demonstrate his bewildering professional knowledge (after all, he was educated as a
historian) about the fate and culture of regions he visited. But it is not a mere show of erudition. Kapuściński calls on facts in oder to interpret them, to show historical and cultural parallels, and to prognosticate.”
This book is illustrated with Kapuściński’s very own previously unpublished pictures.
