Ebony. African fever

Born in Pinsk, Belarus, Ryszard Kapuściński is a legend of Polish reporting journalism, a traveler and writer known all over the world. The time described in this book is a turning point for understanding one's path and one's own place in the life of humanity. A book about bloody revolutions, accidental victories and defeats, racial antagonism, hunger, epidemics, corruption, poverty. And about the inexpressible thirst for life.
A book about the African cosmos, still not fully explored and understood by Europeans. There, the majestic beauty of nature coexists with the savage poverty of human life. Shade and water are more precious than all the treasures of the world. And racial prejudices are stronger than anywhere else.
