From renowned journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski comes this personal consideration of his years in the field, vacationing for the first time beyond the Iron Curtain to India, China, Ethiopia, and other spectacular locales. In the 1950s, Kapuscinski done university in Poland and became a international correspondent, wanting to go in foreign countries - perhaps to Czechoslovakia. Instead he was sent to India - the first stop over a decades-long tour of the world that required him from Iran to El Salvador and from Angola to Armenia. Revisiting his stories of traveling the globe with a copy of Herodotus's The Histories in tow, Kapuscinski identifies his awakening to the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of new environments and the way the words of the Greek historiographer helped condition his own view of an increasingly globalized world. Written with supreme eloquence and a constant eyes to the global undercurrents that shaped the latter 50 % of the 20th hundred years, Travels with Herodotus can be an exceptional chronicle of 1 man's journey across continents.
