One of the most important works by Ryszard Kapu\u015bci\u0144ski, considered a master of world reportage. Empire is a moving account of a journey through the former Soviet Union during its disintegration – a chronicle of encounters, observations and reflections on historical, social and human changes. With reporter’s insight and poetic language, Kapuscinski describes the drama of empire, analyzing the mechanisms of power, memory and identity. This is a work of universal dimension, combining documentary and literature into a form of profound meditation on the fate of man in history. <\/p>\n
