Travels with Herodotus

Ryszard Kapuscinski

Travels with Herodotus is a captivating memoir written by Ryszard Kapuscinski. The book provides an intimate account of Kapuscinski's first experiences beyond the Iron Curtain. Through his eyes, we see the non-Western world as he first saw it, complete with powerful rituals and incongruous moments. As he travels across China, Poland, Iran, Congo and other locales, Kapuscinski's spirit is fueled by a volume of Herodotus gifted to him by his first boss. With this ancient text as his guide, Kapuscinski discovers the broader world and finds stories where they did not previously exist. A must-read for those who love literary reportage.
