A masterpiece... a poignant picture of post-war Poland and the first breath of one of the essential voices of the twentieth century... the master of literary reportage, The Times Literary Supplement.
When the great traveler-journalist Ryszard Kapuściński was young, in the 1960s, he set out to write about the most remote areas of his homeland, Poland. The related essays presented here reveal a place as strange as any of the distant lands he visited on foreign assignments: trapped between the bonds of the past and dreams of escape, a country on the brink of the modern era.
Kapuściński transcends the limitations of journalism and writes with the novelistic power of a Conrad or a Kipling or an Orwell.
