THE SHADOW OF THE SUN (Heban)

Literary masterpiece by one of Poland’s most celebrated foreign correspondent. “Ryszard Kapuscinski arrived in Africa in 1957, at the beginning of the end of colonial rule – the ‘sometimes dramatic and painful, sometimes enjoyable and jubilant’ rebirth of a continent. ‘The Shadow of the Sun sums up the author’s experiences (‘the record of a forty-year marriage’) in this place that became the central obsession of his remarkable career.” Translated from the Polish by Klara Glowczewska.
