pcs

The Emperor tells of the Ethiopian emperor's last days through the voices of his courtiers. Each account reveals the absurdity and cruelty of authoritarian power.

Kapuściński is the greatest Polish reporter, creator of "literary reportage." The Emperor is not just about Ethiopia: it is a universal parable about any totalitarian regime. The book retains a frightening relevance.
