Fiul lui Herodot
Herodot’s Son

Summary/Abstract: One of the most remarkable and gifted journalists of the times, Ryszard Kapuściński has given the world unique testimonies on some of the most troubled regions of the world. “Lost“ among the professionals of the big Western media companies in the early fifties, Kapuściński has remained a lonely traveling journalist and historian, writing only about what he himself had seen and experienced. His books – says the author of the text – don’t want toe exhibit a superior knowledge, on the contrary, the urge to find the truth through writings seems to come from Kapuściński’s nescience that prompts him to identify himself with the people he’s writing about. An essay on Kapuściński’s journalistic art and gift.
