En 'El Imperio', Ryszard Kapuściński nos ofrece un relato fascinante de sus recuerdos y exploraciones en la Unión Soviética. A través de sus viajes entre 1989 y 1991, Kapuściński visitó quince repúblicas y conversó con cientos de ciudadanos, capturando sus experiencias y el terror que estaban dejando atrás. Este libro es el resultado de una carrera contra el tiempo para preservar las memorias de los protagonistas anónimos de la Historia, contándonos el derrumbe del imperio desde dentro, con la perspectiva de un ciudadano polaco que vivió en una de sus colonias periféricas.

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".
