Ryszard Kapuscinski - Journalism, Essays, Poetry (5 books)

RYSZARD KAPUŚCIŃSKI (1932-2007) was a Polish reporter, journalist, traveller, photographer, poet and writer whose dispatches in book form brought him global reputation and many international literary prizes. Salman Rushdie wrote about him: "One Kapuściński is worth more than a thousand whimpering and fantasizing scribblers. His exceptional combination of journalism and art allows us to feel so close to what Kapuściński calls the inexpressible true image of war."

ANOTHER DAY OF LIFE (1976) is a record of three months of the Angolan Civil War. SHAH OF SHAHS (1982) is Kapuściński's analysis of the decline and fall of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran. THE SHADOW OF THE SUN (2001) is a collection of essays about Africa spanning more than four decades. TRAVELS WITH HERODOTUS (2004) mixes together a collection of Kapuściński's own experiences and excerpts from the book The Histories by Herodotus which serves not only as a companion in his often long and lonely journeys but also as a guide to the conflicts waged in current times.
