En 'Viajes con Heródoto', Ryszard Kapuscinski nos lleva a un viaje tanto geográfico como introspectivo. Años cincuenta: mientras recorre la Polonia profunda, un joven Kapuscinski sueña con cruzar fronteras. En lugar de Checoslovaquia, es enviado a la India, llevando consigo la 'Historia' de Heródoto, un libro que marcará su desarrollo profesional y personal. Este libro es difícil de clasificar, es a la vez un reportaje, un estudio etnográfico y un libro de viajes, un homenaje a Heródoto y a su prosa. En sus páginas, los soldados de Salamina se cruzan con un niño en la Varsovia de 1942, Jerjes con Dostoievski, y Creso con Louis Armstrong. Kapuscinski, considerado el mejor reportero de su tiempo, nos ofrece una obra maestra que fusiona historia, periodismo y reflexión personal.
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".
