Ébano es una de las obras maestras del periodismo literario contemporáneo, escrita por el aclamado reportero polaco Ryszard Kapuściński. En este libro, el autor se sumerge en el continente africano, alejándose de los estereotipos y los circuitos turísticos para vivir en los barrios más pobres, convivir con sus habitantes y experimentar de primera mano la realidad política y social de países como Ruanda, Etiopía y Liberia. A través de una narrativa ética y cautivadora, Kapuściński compone un mosaico complejo de un mundo cargado de una electricidad violenta e inquieta. No es solo un libro sobre África, sino un testimonio sobre la condición humana, el nomadismo y la redención, escrito por un observador agudo que arriesgó su vida para capturar la esencia de un continente en constante cambio.
Ryszard Kapuściński was a Polish journalist, photographer and author. He received many prestigious awards and was considered a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Kapuściński's personal journals in book form attracted both controversy and admiration for blurring the conventions of reportage with the allegory and magical realism of literature. He was the Communist-era Polish Press Agency's only correspondent in Africa during decolonization, and also worked in South America and Asia. Between 1956 and 1981 he reported on 27 revolutions and coups, until he was fired because of his support for the pro-democracy Solidarity movement in his native country. He was celebrated by other practitioners of the genre. The acclaimed Italian reportage-writer Tiziano Terzani, Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez, and Chilean writer Luis Sepúlveda accorded him the title "Maestro".
