Ryszard Kapuściński, born in Pinsk in 1932, was one of the most important Polish reporters of the 20th century. His work is characterized by a deep understanding of social and political processes, as well as sensitivity to the fate of other people. Kapuściński was not only an observer, but also a participant in events, which gives his reports a unique character. His books such as "The Emperor", "Shah of Shahs" or "Ebony" are classics of non-fiction literature that still inspire subsequent generations of readers.
