Nobody Leaves Av Ryszard Kapuscinski

<p><b>''A masterpiece ... a moving image of post-war Poland, and the first breathing of one of the essential voices of the twentieth century... the master of literary reportage'' <i>The Times Literary Supplement</i></b><br><br>When the great traveller-reporter Ryszard Kapuscinski was a young journalist in the early 1960s, he was sent to write about the farthest reaches of his native Poland. The resulting essays brought together here reveal a place as strange as any of the distant lands he visited on foreign assignments: caught between ties to the past and dreams of escape, a country on the edge of modernity.<br><br>''Kapuscinski trascends the limitations of journalism and writes with the narrative power of a Conrad or Kipling or Orwell'' Blake Morrison</p>
