SynopsisRyszard Kapuscinski is considered among the most important journalists of the 20th century, with several of his titles, including The Soccer War, The Shah of Shahs, Imperium and The Shadow of the Sun considered part of the modern canon. His reportages bore the marks of the highest literary craftsmanship characterized by sophisticated narrative technique, psychological portraits of characters, a wealth of stylization, metaphor and unusual imagery that serves as means of interpreting the perceived world. He approached foreign countries first through literature, spending months reading before each trip. He was frequently mentioned as a favourite to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, though remained overlooked when he died in January, 2007. What was not known in the English speaking world, however, was the Ryszard Kapuscinski was also a poet. Ecce Homo brings together the best of the poems from his two previously published collections, offering them in English in book form for the first time. Kapuscinskis is a thoughtful, philosophic verse, often aphoristic in tone and structure, and as one would expect, engaged politically, morally and viscerally with the world around him., Bringing together for the first time in English a selection of poems from his two previously published collections, Kapuscinski offers up a thoughtful, philosophical verse, often aphoristic in tone and structure, that is engaged politically, morally, and viscerally with the world around him. Translated from the Polish.
