En 'El Imperio', Ryszard Kapuscinski nos lleva a un viaje a través de la Unión Soviética entre 1989 y 1991, justo cuando el imperio mostraba signos de derrumbe. A través de sus crónicas, Kapuscinski visita quince repúblicas y conversa con ciudadanos sobre sus experiencias y el terror que estaban dejando atrás. Este libro es un intento de capturar las memorias de los protagonistas anónimos de la historia antes de que los acontecimientos de esos años se pierdan en el pasado. Con un conocimiento profundo, Kapuscinski relata el derrumbe del imperio desde la perspectiva de un ciudadano polaco, cuyo país fue una de las colonias periféricas de dicho imperio.

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".
