THE SHADOW OF THE SUN (Heban) – In English

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.
