In The Other, an early 2000’s release based upon lectures he gave in Krakow and Vienna, he gives a broadly humanistic approach to observing colonization, though the book was unfinished and repetitive. Some of the highlights of the author’s book publishing career include Imperium, Another Day of Life, Shah of Shahs, The Soccer War. It was a once in a lifetime book that would be repeated quite a few times. Kapuściński had been elevated to international fame with The Emperor, an inside look at the collapse of the Haile Selassie regime in Ethiopia based upon interviews with courtiers after the fact. And there is some reason to suspect this. If one believes Snow, there were rumblings that Kapuściński’s brew of literary reportage was more literary than reported. British correspondent Jon Snow wrote a preening piece for Channel 4 in 2010, under the ungrammatical headline “I suspected Polish reporter was fake”. I can only suspect the envy is wide-spread. Even from the opening pages in the writer’s description of the all-surrounding light of Africa this brilliance shone through. It gave the eery feeling that someone had lived a version of my life before me, better, and with more literary style. I read Kapuściński’s The Shadow of the Sun after working as a journalist for a few years, and spending some time on the ground in East Africa. In a somewhat similar way, the translation of his work into English opened up a new space for me. Herodotus opened a new space for Kapuściński. He had studied history in Poland, and he writes potently, in his book Travels with Herodotus, about discovering the Greek historian after the work was translated into Polish. He wrote with the view of history in mind. Reading through the material one feels the polished bravery, the hero journalist heading towards danger. It seems plausible when reading his work. According to the backflap of some of his books, he was even sentenced to death four times for his reporting. Ryszard Kapuściński was a longtime Polish foreign correspondent who spent decades traversing Africa, Latin America, and the Soviet Union in the twentieth-century.
