Travels with Herodotus
|
| | | Annotation:
With stirring eloquence, Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski chronicles his trips to India, China, and Iran as an agency reporter. Given Herodotus' THE HISTORIES by his editor as he embarked on his first journey, he regularly turns to the fifth-century B.C.E. Greek historian to gain perspective. In TRAVELS WITH HERODOTUS, Kapuscinski surveys his surroundings--and the often contradictory stances of the people he encounters--with a mix of poetic observation and critical bewilderment and draws thought-provoking historical parallels.
