In 'Another Day of Life', Ryszard Kapuscinski immerses us in the turbulent Angola of 1975, just before its declaration of independence. Through an intimate and personal account, Kapuscinski describes the white exodus and the fierce struggle for power, offering a raw and moving vision of war and the human condition. This book, considered the author's favorite, is a lesson in journalism and literature that invites us to reflect on the fragility of life and courage in times of crisis.
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".
