Escrito desde la perspectiva de mediados de siglo, 'Viatges amb Heròdot' es una obra que fusiona reportaje, estudio etnográfico y libro de viajes a través del tiempo y la historia. Este libro rinde homenaje a Heródoto, considerado el primer reportero global, y celebra la calidad de su prosa. Kapuscinski reflexiona sobre los mecanismos de poder, los sistemas políticos y la organización social, explorando la relación entre lo material y lo espiritual, el crimen y el castigo, a través de historias de no ficción.
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".
