En 1958, un joven e inquieto periodista de veinticinco años parte hacia África, donde permanecerá durante casi diez años cubriendo el despertar de un continente que comenzaba a reclamar su voz. A través de sus crónicas, Ryszard Kapuściński relata con maestría el nacimiento de nuevos estados, la compra de armas y el estallido de revueltas y revoluciones en países como Ghana, Congo, Tanganica y Argelia. Tras su regreso a Polonia en 1967, Kapuściński emprende un nuevo viaje de cinco años por América Latina, documentando conflictos como la 'Guerra del Fútbol' de 1969 entre Honduras y El Salvador. Esta obra es un testimonio fundamental sobre cómo los países del Tercer Mundo a menudo solo logran captar la atención internacional a través del derramamiento de sangre, ofreciendo una mirada profunda a las luchas de los más desfavorecidos.
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".
