It is not a linear narrative book. It jumps around in time and in location. A chapter does not necessarily follow the one before, but sometimes they do. Kapuscinski is known for his reportage, perhaps more so than his books, and this book certainly displays an aspect of reportage, in that it can almost be read as a series of essays - some inter-related, but most not. Todos los capítulos tienen su particular interés pero los que más se me han quedado grabados son el dedicado al terrible dictador de Uganda Idi Amin Dada, llamado el carnicero de Uganda , que junto con otros dictadores de su calaña como Bokassa, Milton Obote, Juvenal Habyarimana y Mobutu Sese Seko sembraron el terror y la tragedia en sus países y merecen estar entre los grandes villanos de la historia. Otro capítulo que ha quedado en mi memoria es el dedicado al genocidio de Ruanda (Tutsis contra Hutus), también lleno de dramatismo y horrores, así como el dedicado a la formación y transformación de Liberia. Kapuściński first went to Africa in 1957 and, over the next forty years, returned whenever he could.

Today would be the 23rd June if 2020 wasn't a leap year. It's matters like this that archaeoastronomers lose sleep over. This morning, the 22nd June, was happily clear of clouds and people and so I walked to Stonehenge to attempt to photograph the Heelstone shadow. this, Kapuscinski relates, cheered him and so he gradually increased the amounts he gave to the driver and after each increase the man's response to him also deepened until A book like this would normally I would have imagined taken me very little time to read because I would devour it in a binge of gulpings and swallowings but it took me a good deal longer. In part, for the simple reason that I was taken up with other things and couldn't find the freedom to absorb myself in his world as I would have liked but also for the equally simple but at the same time profound reason that there was just too much to take in.
