Reporting from such varied locations as postcolonial Africa, revolutionary Iran, the military dictatorships of Latin America and Soviet Russia, the Polish journalist and writer Ryszard Kapuscinski was one of the most influential eyewitness journalists of the twentieth century. During the Cold War, he was a dauntless investigator as well as a towering literary talent, and books such as The Emperor and Travels with Herodotus 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. In 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. In 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.… (altro)

Ryszard Kapuscinski was de wereldberoemde Poolse journalist en schrijver die gedurende het grootste deel van zijn leven reporter was voor de Derde Wereld van het Poolse persagentschap. Van zijn hand zijn boeken als "De keizer" over keizer Haile Selassie van Ethopië, "De sjah aller sjahs" over de sjah van Perzië en de Iraanse revolutie en "Ebbenhout" over zijn ervaringen in Afrika. De boeken van Kapuscinski laten perfect zien hoe macht wordt uitgeoefend en hoe revoluties verlopen. Kapuscinski was naar eigen zeggen bevriend met Salvador Allende, Che Guevara en Patrice Lumumba en had 27 revoluties overleefd. Ook had hij een hele mythe gecreeerd over zijn eigen persoon als heldhaftig en onverschrokken reporter die meerdere keren de dood in de ogen heeft gezien.
In "Kapuscinski" stelt Artur Domoslawski zich tot taak feit en mythe rond diens leven te scheiden. Kapuscinski werd in 1932 in een armoedig gedeelte van Polen geboren. Gevormd door zijn ervaringen tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd Kapuscinski toen hij volwassen werd overtuigd communist en lid van de partij.
Hij studeerde geschiedenis en viel al snel op met zijn reportages. Nog voor zijn 25e werd hij naar India gestuurd. HIj wist niets van het land en sprak geen woord Engels. Hij werd onder de hoede van een collega genomen met wie hij bevriend werd en die zijn beschermheer werd. Na verblijven in India en China kreeg hij een vaste baan als correspondent voor de Derde Wereld en was hij een groot deel van zijn leven in Afrika en Latijns-Amerika.
Het begin van het boek vond ik boeiend. Al gauw ging het steeds meer over de interne politieke situatie in Polen en werd het steeds moeizamer lezen. Kapuscinski heeft veel details van zijn boeken verfraaid of geheel verzonnen, maar lijkt daarmee toch een soort van dichterlijke waarheid te hebben gegeven.
IK vond het boek inhoudelijk redelijk interessant, maar matig geschreven en veel te lang van stof. In plaats van een biografie van 500 blz hadden maximaal 300 blz volstaan. Alleen voor de echte fans van Kapuscinski en die kunnen nog beter zijn eigen boeken lezen. ( )

An incredibly detailed - and yet insightful with it, and highly readable too - account of the life of Poland's most famous reporter. Full of slight revelations that make a lot more sense if you're familiar with his books. ( )
