'Only with the greatest of simplifications, for the sake of convenience, can we say Africa. In reality, except as a geographical term, Africa doesn't exist'. Ryszard Kapuscinski has been writing about the people of Africa throughout his career. In astudy that avoids the official routes, palaces and big politics, he sets out to create an account of post-colonial Africa seen at once as a whole and as a location that wholly defies generalised explanations. It is both a sustained meditation on themosaic of peoples and practises we call 'Africa', and an impassioned attempt to come to terms with humanity itself as it struggles to escape from foreign domination, from the intoxications of freedom, from war and from politics as theft.

Obraz panowania i upadku szacha Iranu Mohammeda Rezy Pahlaviego. Fascynujący reportaż prezentuje kluczowy konflikt końca XX wieku między odgórną rewolucją, usiłującą wprowadzić „nowoczesność", a kontrrewolucją fanatycznego integryzmu muzułmańskiego ajatollaha Chomeiniego. Chciałem opisać ludzi, ich mentalność, sposób odczuwania świata. Doświadczenie nauczyło mnie bowiem, że z każdego punktu naszej planety świat widać inaczej – człowiek, który mieszka w Europie, widzi ten świat inaczej aniżeli człowiek, który mieszka w Afryce. Bez próby wejścia w te inne sposoby widzenia odczuwania i opisywania, nic z tego świata nie zrozumiemy – Ryszard KapuścińskiO AUTORZERyszard Kapuściński (ur. 1932 w Pińsku, zm. 2007 w Warszawie), polski reportażysta, publicysta i poeta. Pracownik redakcji „Sztandaru Młodych", potem (od 1958 r.) członek redakcji „Polityki"; od 1962 r. Korespondent zagraniczny PAP w Afryce, Azji i Ameryce Łacińskiej. Autor reportaży literackich (międzynarodową sławę przyniósł mu zwłaszcza Cesarz), w których prezentujeł przemiany społeczne i ustrojowe, przewroty polityczne i konflikty zbrojne, mechanizmy funkcjonowania i upadku dyktatur.

After the deposition of Haile Selassie in 1974, which ended the ancient rule of the Abyssinian monarchy, Ryszard Kapuscinski travelled to Ethiopia and sought out surviving courtiers to tell their stories. Here, their eloquent and ironic voices depict the lavish, corrupt world they had known - from the rituals, hierarchies and intrigues at court to the vagaries of a ruler who maintained absolute power over his impoverished people. They describe his inexorable downfall as the Ethiopian military approach, strange omens appear in the sky and courtiers vanish, until only the Emperor and his valet remain in the deserted palace, awaiting their fate. Dramatic and mesmerising, The Emperor is one of the great works of reportage and a haunting epitaph on the last moments of a dying regime.

Wznowienie pierwszej książki przyszłego autora Cesarza z 1962 roku, jedynej książki w jego dorobku kompletnie traktującej o Polsce. Edycja wzbogacona – w stosunku do pierwszego wydania – o napisany w połowie lat 80. XX w. Tekst zatytułowany Ćwiczenia pamięci. Autor, wspominając dzieciństwo, które przypadło na czas wojny, wyznaje: „Kiedy skończyła się wojna, znałem tylko piekło".Akcja reportaży składających się na Busz po polsku rozgrywa się w latach 50. I 60., na prowincji, w Olecku, w Puszczy Białowieskiej, nad Narwią, w okolicach Brodnicy, pod Mławą, we wsi Grunwald, w Pratkach koło Ełku, niedługo mówiąc – gdzie diabeł mówi dostosowanoc. Ich bohaterami są: dwie Niemki uciekające z domu starców w Szczytnie, flisak, stróż nocny, małorolny chłop klepiący biedę, robotnicy sezonowi, studenci wyrzuceni z uczelni, którzy nie chcą wracać z Warszawy do swych rodzinnych miasteczek i wsi, ludzie bez stałego adresu. Ale także inżynier, nauczyciel historii, student SGPiS nazwiskiem Piątkowski, który jest rekordzistą świata w rzucie dyskiem, młodzi mężczyźni odbywający służbę wojskową. Ozdobą tomu są reportaże Danka i niesprężysty, które wydają się być niemal gotowymi scenariuszami filmowymi.
