Ryszard KapuscinskiBorn in Pinsk (in what is now Belarus), the celebrated Polish foreign correspondent Ryszard Kapuscinski is the author of, among others, "Shah of Shahs", "Imperium", "Shadow of the Sun" and, most recently, the memoir "Travels with Herodotus". His books have been translated into twenty-eight languages. He died in 2007.
"Kapuscinski saw more, and more clearly É than nearly any writer one can think to name. Few have written more beautifully of unspeakable things. Few have had his courage, almost none his talent. His books changed the way many of us think about nonfiction." - New York Times Book Review
