During the Cold War, he was a dauntless investigator as well as a towering literary talent, and books such as \u003ci\u003eThe Emperor\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTravels with Herodotus\u003c\/i\u003e founded the new genre of 'literary reportage'. It was an achievement that brought him global renown, not to mention the uninvited attentions of the CIA. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this definitive biography, Artur Domoslawski shines a new light on the personal relationships of this intensely charismatic, deeply private man, examining the intractable issue at the heart of Kapuscinski's life and work: the relationship and tension between journalism and literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn researching this book, Domos?awski, himself an award-winning foreign correspondent, enjoyed unprecedented access to Kapuscinski's private papers. The result traces his mentor's footsteps through Africa and Latin America, delves into files and archives that Kapuscinski himself examined, and records conversations with the people that he talked to in the course of his own investigations. Ryszard Kapuscinski is a meticulous, riveting portrait of a complex man of intense curiosity living at the heart of dangerous times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Artur Domoslawski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184467858X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844678587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2012 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker (The)\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2012 pg. 78","brand":"Artur Domoslawski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078687518975,"sku":"9781844678587","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e64abd1e-5fab-4d10-80fc-467cbb4de629.jpg?v=1685476934","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ryszard-kapuscinski-artur-domoslawski-9781844678587","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
