I Wrote Stone

Zusatztext "Even faced with his oncoming death! a swift bout with cancer! Kapuscinski could not help but retain his tone or reportage. He touches upon the great fear of death with a surprisingly unbiased touch even as the lines are imbued with emotion by the reader! who knows the inevitability and is faced with a posthumous message from beyond."— Bookslut "I Wrote Stone" shows us a chronicler of chaos in one of those moments when he has turned off his journalistic processes and given himself up to something else."— LA Times Informationen zum Autor Ryszard Kapuscinski: Ryszard Kapuscinski, Poland’s most celebrated journalist and author, was born in 1932.
